FRIENDS OF PAUL BAILEY PRESENT “THE PAUL BAILEY JAM” AT
PISGAH BREWERY FEATURING PIERCE EDENS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
4.23.2010
Asheville, NC – Friends of Paul Bailey will be hosting a benefit to help offset Paul’s recently incurred medical bills. Paul graduated from Warren Wilson College in 2006 and was active in the Western North Carolina climbing and outdoors community. He suffered a severe traumatic brain injury while rock climbing in Australia in October 2009. He was airlifted to a hospital in Melbourne where, over the course of six months, he underwent multiple surgeries and received physical therapy. While Paul was covered by traveler’s insurance, his coverage maxed out at $35,000 which will barely cover his first days in the hospital.
The Paul Bailey Jam will take place on Saturday, May 8th, 2010 at Pisgah Brewery at 150 Eastside Drive in Black Mountain, NC. The Paul Baliey Jam will feature performances by Firefly Revival, Juan Holiday and guests, The Ram and Benny Duo of the Trainwrecks, and Pierce Edens. Food will be provided by Hardcastle Hotdogs and
Laurey’s Catering & Gourmet To-Go. In addition to musical entertainment, there will be bocce ball, root ball and corn hole tournaments starting at 5:30pm, as well as a silent auction and raffle. Doors will open at 4:00 pm with a ticket price of $10 for the general public and $5 for Warren Wilson College students with student ID; this is an all ages event.
All proceeds will go to the Paul Bailey Recovery Fund of Marlton, NJ.
