 The Rivertown Music Club has been combining great local music and charity for the past 3 years. On January 6, 2007, RTMC’s latest series, “One More Girl On A Stage” will carry on that tradition. The series will support and celebrate women via monthly shows at Southgate House featuring local and national female musicians with a donation being made from each show to benefit a woman-focused charity/organization.

The show on January 6 will kick off the series with some of the most talented women from the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area; Kinsey Rose, Jesse Thomas, Tupelo Honey, Lauren Houston, Kelly Thomas & The Fabulous Pickups, Wussy, The Fairmount Girls, Kristen Key, Twisted Wood, The Whitney Barricklow Band, Holly Spears, My Wife The Tiger, Viva La Foxx, Chakras, Foxfire, The Reverend Mother and The Tammy WhyNots. Along with National performer, Shanna Zell (New York City). The line-up is extremely diverse and includes acoustic acts and full bands. A website has been set up at www.myspace.com/onemoregirlonastage with links to all the performers, along with pictures and sound clips.

The show will benefit The Pink Ribbon Girls (pinkribbongirls.org), a breast cancer survivor’s organization. This show has personal meaning for many of the musicians involved that have faced breast cancer either personally or with a loved one. There will also be a raffle, at the show, to help raise money for the organization.

The Pink Ribbon Girls Mission
Pink Ribbon Girls (PRG) are committed to helping young women diagnosed with breast cancer by creating a support network of survivors through personal contact as well as the internet. Young women are offered the flexibility of joining a group that doesn't require a monthly commitment, such as that of a formal support group. Having a monthly night out provides young women with an outlet for sharing many aspects of their life, including breast cancer. Topics of discussion and guest speakers for each meeting include issues more specific to being diagnosed at an earlier age, such as dating, caring for young children while undergoing treatment and fitness and nutrition. PRG offers its members support in many ways, including a welcome packet filled with a membership directory, helpful tips, a personal journal, and many other useful materials. Other means of support include providing meals to PRG members and their families during treatment or after surgery. PRG also realizes that until there is a cure, we must all do our part to educate women about this disease and focus on the early detection of it.
