WHAT:
The Sean Costello Memorial Fund for Bipolar Research will hold its
third annual benefit concert Saturday, September 29th, 2012 at the North
Atlanta High School Center For the Arts.This year, the proceeds
from the concert will go towards the MOJO Project, which is a web and
mobile based application to monitor sleep patterns and warn of impending
danger of sleep deprivation. This is a particular problem for
musicians. Mania kills and sleep disruption is a trigger for mania.
This could have been the thing that saved Sean's life and can now
prevent the loss of another talented soul. The amount needed to make
the MOJO Project a reality is $15,000.
Tickets are on sale at www.seancostellofund.org.
Ticket prices start at $25.00 (plus applicable fees), but will increase
after September 15th. Food and beverages will be available for
purchase. Donations are tax deductible according to IRS guidelines.
Sean Costello was honored throughout his career, most recently being recognized for his posthumously released Sean's Blues: A Memorial Retrospective,
which was nominated for Best Historical Album in the 2010 Blues Music
Awards, and Best Contemporary Blues Recording in the 2010 Blues Blast
Music Awards.
The Sean Costello Memorial Fund for
Bipolar Research is uniquely focused on the needs of musicians with
bipolar disorder. The Fund supports and conducts research on bipolar
disorder and creativity while promoting awareness, providing education,
and serving as a resource for these musicians and their support systems
in order to foster acceptance, functioning and health.
