Talent 4 A Cure: Benefit for Cystic Fibrosis, dedicated to Mansfield's Fallon Finegan

Students from Mansfield, Oliver Ames (OA), Sharon and King Philip high schools join to present the 4th annual Talent 4 A Cure. Sponsored by the OA student council, T4AC showcases the four schools' most talented student performers, primarily musical acts, who compete for a $1000 first prize. This year's proceeds will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Hearts for Hope Foundation, which work to improve the quality of life for those battling cystic fibrosis (CF), an inherited, chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system and for which there is currently no cure. The event will be dedicated to Mansfield High School student Fallon Finegan, who passed away in August 2010 at age 16 after a lifelong battle with CF.  Since it began in 2008, T4AC has raised about $30K for important causes. By coming out to enjoy this year's lineup of amazing student talent, you will support the many area students who make this event happen and the causes to which they dedicate their efforts.
