(MARCH 2007)  Details have been confirmed for the first official Sabrina Black Foundation event, which will happen on April 10th at the Emerald Theatre in Mt. Clemens, MI.  Blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd will headline this special WRIF - SBF concert/ auction fundraiser.

Some of the auction items available include autographed guitars from Zakk Wylde; Ted Nugent; Shinedown, Silvertide, and Atreyu. Additional items include a once in a lifetime “media pass” to join Matt Dery of WDFN and sit with the press during a Detroit Pistons game, this includes a pre-game meal in the press room and a pre-game visit to the Pistons locker room.  These are just a few of the many items that will be part of the auction. Some of the auction items will be available at WRIF.com
Steve Black, co-founder of The Sabrina Black Foundation and host of The Chop Shop Radio Show commented on the upcoming event, “Sabrina was a 15 year Detroit radio personality who was very public with her battle. She has become a symbol of hope to everyone facing life and death situations.”

The Sabrina Black Foundation raises money and then selects cancer patients through the billing offices of local cancer hospitals. The hospitals select candidates, and then contact the patients to let them know that we heard their prayers. We pay off their entire hospital bill. We completely eliminate that debt so they can keep their focus on fighting their disease, instead of financial difficulties.  Visit www.sabrinablackfoundation.org for more information.
