University of Illinois students are biking from New York to San Francisco this summer to join the fight against cancer -- we just want you to check out some local bands to do your part.

SF Bay Illini are supporting U of I registered student organization, Illini 4000, a group of students currently riding their bikes from New York to San Francisco to raise money for the fight against cancer and to support those impacted by cancer. ... Please visit www.illini4000.org to learn more about the group and follow them as they trek across country and raise funds and awareness.

The riders will end their summer of sacrifice by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge at the end of July. Please join us at a fundraiser contributing to their fundraising goals for American Cancer Society and Camp Kesem.

Two local bands and a local venue have graciously agreed to host and entertain us for a benefit on Thursday, July 7. Entertainment provided by Miles Country (http://www.facebook.com/milescountry) and Kentucky Blue Balls (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kentucky-Blue-Balls/119657678091549).

Doors open at 6 PM.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Visit www.sfbayillini.org to buy tickets in advance.

Proceeds will support Illini 4000 fundraising goals and welcome reception at the end of the summer. We look forward to a good time for a great cause! Special thanks to Kimo's Bar, Scott Rootenberg/Magnetic Talent, Miles Country and Kentucky Blue Balls for supporting our cause!
