(KNSI) — On Wednesday, Incubus, Badflower, and Paris Jackson invade Waite Park’s Ledge Amphitheater. While the alternative rock bands are known for having an edge, this week’s concert has a softer side.
The Ledge is teaming up with a local charity for each show this season. Greeting fans at the gates for Incubus will be representatives from the INDY Foundation. Kayla Strand started the nonprofit after her husband, Kyle, lost his battle with cancer.
The INDY Foundation has a monthly program that recognizes and supports two people, who they call warriors, who are fighting cancer. These warriors are featured in a video on the organization’s website and get $1,000 in cash and warrior program merchandise. The foundation website says Kyle always had a backpack as he attended various appointments for treatment. Inside each pack are a journal, pen, personalized letter of encouragement, and more. An emergency fund helps with gas, groceries, and other necessities. The gift cards are given out monthly on a first come, first served basis.
Lastly, the nonprofit teams with the Grand View Lodge in Nisswa. Warriors and their families spend time at the resort, resting and recharging.
People are selected based on their story, not due to the type of cancer, and there is no income criteria.
Doors for the show open at 6:30 p.m. A link to buy tickets is here.
