This sensory-friendly and  charity concert made a big splash!   Thank you for all the artists, sponsors, volunteers, all attendees (livestream and in-person), everyone supporting the silent auction either by donating items or participating in the bidding process, the venue (American Swedish Institute), and KTSP for covering the event on their evening news !

 

On April 26, 2026, we not only increased awareness of ME/CFS, Long COVID and chronic Lyme disease around the world, MECFS Clinic MN and Minnesota ME/CFS Alliance raised enough money to cover the concert expenses and more to help patients pay for treatments conducive to ME/CFS and Long COVID, get medical transportation and address the food insecurity problem in these communities through this event.
