MOUNT OLIVE -- The University of Mount Olive's fifth annual Sing for Another Day benefit concert to raise money for Southeastern Cancer Care is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. in Southern Bank Auditorium in the Raper Building.

The concert will include performances by University of Mount Olive students, faculty, staff, and alumni who would like to exhibit their talents while raising money for a worthy cause.

The event is organized by Sisterhood of Crown and Martlet (SOCAM), a University of Mount Olive student service group.

Last year, more than $700 was raised for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

SOCAM will also sell Cures for the Colors T-shirts for $10 before and during the concert.

All proceeds will go to Southeastern Cancer Care, a local non-profit organization that benefits eastern North Carolina cancer patients and their families.

To learn more, visit www.southeasterncancercare.org.

The concert will be free, but donations will be accepted.

For more information, to order a T-shirt, or to sponsor this event, contact Heather Jordan, SOCAM president, at hpj7469@moc.edu.

The University of Mount Olive is a private institution rooted in the liberal arts tradition with defining Christian values.

The university, sponsored by the Convention of Original Free Will Baptists, has locations in Mount Olive, New Bern, Wilmington, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, Research Triangle Park, Washington, Jacksonville, and in Smithfield at Johnston Community College.
