Charities: Straylight Run, Armor for Sleep and Nightmare of You for the Sean McGrath Fund

"Straylight Run, Armor For Sleep, and
Nightmare of You will play the second "Hold On To Your Friends" cancer
benefit concert on Saturday, August 14 at Irving Plaza. Proceeds from the
event will be used to pay the final expenses of the late musician Sean
McGrath, who died on June 11, 2004, after an extended battle with
intestinal cancer." You can see the entire release, by clicking read more.

Sean McGrath was a veteran of New Jersey's hardcore scene, having served
in the ranks of Saves the Day, Hands Tied, and Mouthpiece. Two years ago,
exploratory surgery on the then-26 year-old revealed the unthinkable:
advanced cancer throughout his digestive tract. Sean immediately began
what would become two years of expensive treatments, and was the
beneficiary of the sold-out inaugural "Hold On To Your Friends" event in
June 2002, featuring Thursday, Midtown, Taking Back Sunday, The Movielife,
and Sean's own band, The Alps.

Sean was dedicated to fighting cancer on a large scale and his friends and
family are determined to continue raising money in Sean's name. Once his
medical and final expenses are settled, they plan to create a registered
non-profit cancer foundation bearing his name. Any extra proceeds from
this and future events will be distributed to worthy cancer-related
charities through The Sean McGrath Fund.

Tickets for the August 14 "Hold On To Your Friends" benefit are $25 and are available through the Irving Plaza Box Office or "http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/929214/">Ticketmaster.
