The band Warpaint is to headline a benefit concert for a very important cause this Friday in Orange County. 


Haley Butcher was a high school student from Huntington Beach who passed away from MDS this November . Butcher was a active, fit athlete who fell ill in October of 2010.  In august of 2011 Butcher underwent a bone marrow transplant in an attempt to correct her MDS.  Unfortunately, the bone marrow did not graft and Butcher fell gravely ill in late October. Warpaint was one of her favorite bands, and according to the Galaxy Theatre's write up on the event, played for her at the hospital during her last days, as did the band, The Growlers. 


This concert is in honor of Butcher, with all proceeds going towards the Butcher family and also to the Make A Wish Foundation. Tickets are only $10 and it all goes towards the cause. 


There are many other bands joining Warpaint on stage for this benefit concert, including TRMRS, Tijuana Panthers and Pangea. There are many sponsors, including Make A Wish Foundation, Volcom, 4th Street Long Beach, Vice Records, Be The Match, and many others. 


The all ages concert is December 2nd, at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana. This venue is a 25 minute drive away from CSULB, which is not far to go for such a great cause.
