Whyalla's eighth annual "Jamm For Genes" concert has ROCKED the Westland Shopping Centre Foodcourt tonight -
raising awareness and funds for the national "Jean For Genes" charity.
"Jeans For Genes" funds The Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) -
an independent organisation committed to unlocking the mysteries of genetic diseases in children.
"Jamm For Genes" is an initiative to encourage musicians & their love of music to sponsor this wonderful charity each year.
This year's "Jamm" featured a cast of 52 performers ranging in age from 4 to 22 -
with a crowd of over 250 enjoying the non-stop, 2-hour concert.
All performers were brilliant - with 20 making their "Jamm" debut!
In January Mark and Alison donated their $500 winners prize to CMRI after winning
the prestigious Peel Valley LIONS Country Music Volunteer Award (NSW).
A total of $587 was raised tonight -
with a further $118.80 raised by BJ's Deli in the week following the concert -
bringing our 2014 TOTAL RAISED to $1205.80!
Since 2007 Whyalla's "Jamm For Genes" has now raised over $4000!
