Sight For Sore Eyes: Another Good Cause.
A Sight For Sore Eyes: A Benefit for Krystal Woods
Saturday 2 August 2008
The Earl 9pm
Saturday August 2nd, 2008, Atlanta’s favorite musicians, performers, and businesses, are coming together at The Earl for A Sight For Sore Eyes: A Benefit for Krystal Woods. If you’ve ever met Krystal, you’ve never forgotten her. She’s worked in the neighborhood for years; you know you’ve seen her at Jake’s Ice Cream, The Flying Biscuit, Inman Perk, and currently Aurora Coffee.
You’re probably wondering why Krystal needs this benefit. Krystal has a degenerative eye condition known as karatoconus, which means her corneas are deteriorating to such an extreme that within the year she will be completely blind. The only way she can be helped is with complete cornea replacements ringing up at $10,000 per eye. Like many of us, Krystal doesn’t have health insurance so she applied for Medicaid, but was denied and told that basically she was not blind enough nor poor enough to qualify. This just isn’t true. Krystal needs our help.
Her friends The Selmanaires, The Preakness, DJ Dookie Platters, DJ Chris Devoe, burlesque star Vagina Jenkins, aerialist Leanna Repass, and Special Guests have come together to put on the best show of 2008, and wait there’s more! A badass raffle will take place with donations by all your favorite Atlanta spots such as Liberty Tattoo, Memorial Tattoo, Criminal Records, Ria’s Bluebird, Murphy’s restaurant, Taco Mac, Everybody’s Pizza, Figo Pasta, Righteous Room, Corner Tavern, American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, Cherry Bomb, Sweetgrass Spa, Key Lime Pie, Acapella Books, and so many more! You’ll have to see it to believe it! If you can’t make it to this fantastic experience, you can still help! Bond Community Credit Union located in the heart of Little Five Points has an account set up for Krystal, so take a few minutes to stop in, tell them you want to donate to A Sight For Sore Eyes or to Krystal Woods, and it’s that easy! You have helped a girl gain sight.
But if you still can’t do that, stop by Aurora Coffee, also in Little Five Points, between Criminal Records and Savage Pizza, and check out the art. From August 9th to August 31st Aurora is hosting a silent auction of your favorite local artists work with all proceeds going to Krystal Woods. AND if you’re an artist interested in donating a piece or two, contact us at Sight4SoreEyes@gmail.com
