Benefit Concert for Sprint4Sarcoma 5K & 1M Fun Run

The Benefit

Friends Friends and fam­ily of 25 year-old Norman res­i­dent Dayna Cannon gath­ered at the Deli on Thursday for a ben­e­fit con­cert fea­tur­ing the Tequila Songbirds. The event raised over 300 dol­lars to fund the Sprint4Sarcoma 5K & 1M Fun Run, to be held next Saturday at Stars and Stripes Park in Oklahoma City.

The run will raise money to fund the DaynaStrong foun­da­tion. The foundation’s goal is rais­ing aware­ness of Synovial Sarcoma, a rare and aggres­sive soft-tis­sue can­cer cur­rently affect­ing Cannon. Cannon recently had her leg ampu­tated below the left knee to remove a large malig­nant mass. The can­cer has returned, this time to her lungs.

The Tequila Songbirds are a Red Dirt col­lec­tion of musi­cal Oklahoma women, includ­ing, but not lim­ited to, Kierston White, Elizabeth “Eliza Bee” Forsythe, Ali Harter, Camille Harp, Kaitlin Butts, Samantha Crain, Sherree Chaimberlain, Carly Gwin, Carter Sampson, Melissa Hembree, Chelsea Cope, Susan Herndon, Lauren Deger, Tracy Reed. Last night’s lineup com­prised Forsythe, White, and Harter.
