Come celebrate 25 years of the Striving & Surviving Cancer Foundation!

The Foundation was originally started by Beverly McCray in 1998 in Lake County, Illinois, as a support group for women who were diagnosed with cancer. In the year 2000, they were joined by musicians Lonnie Givens and Lester Deanes. In October of 2025, join us as we celebrate 25 years of this amazing foundation and Lonnie’s involvement in the group. 

This fundraising concert will feature the Motown era platinum recording artist the Detroit Emeralds, and platinum recording artist Charles and the Floaters! They will be performing live with the Lake County Symphony Orchestra. And of course,  Lake County’s own R&B artist, Lonnie Givens will perform  in this final homecoming performance, bringing it back to where it all began, at the Gorton Center in Lake Forest, Illinois.

This evening celebrating great music and a fantastic non-profit is one you won’t want to miss!

 

** VIP tickets include a private meet & greet after the show! **
