Sept. 3rd, 4th & 5th:

"Punks for A Princess" Concerts!
Location:

Club Hell                                               73 Richmond Street                    Providence, RI  02903

The Beachcomber                                  797 Quincy Shore Drive                    Quincy, MA  02169

The 3rd Annual Punks for A Princess concert is now a THREE-NIGHT affair this year, and proceeds will benefit the children of A Wish Come True!

Punks for a Princess is a nonprofit charity organization started in memory of 7-year old Kaitlyn Ferra, who tragically passed away on August 7, 2008.  Whether it be at home, at school, on the playground, or in scouting, Kaitlyn was always the first to lend a helping hand to any child in need of a friend.  That’s why this year, in honor of Kaitlyn’s loving nature, Punks for a Princess has teamed up with A Wish Come True!

September 3rd and 5th, the concerts will be held at Club Hell in Providence, while Saturday's show (September 4th) will take place at The Beachcomber in Quincy, MA!

More information, as it becomes available, on the bands and tickets can be found on the Punks for a Princess website, as well as the site for Club Hell.
