Local Entertainers Promote Breast Cancer Awareness Event At Downtown Eatery

Oct. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Local Detroit R&B/Jazz entertainers Kimberly "MissPinctoes" Kane and Sky Covington are promoting a Breast Cancer Awareness event on Wednesday, October 19th, which will seek to raise funds for a 33 year-old Detroit mother of four children who is battling breast cancer.

The benefit will feature live entertainment showcasing local recording artists, vocalists, musicians, comedians, and local activists. The benefit will held at the Harbor House eatery which is located in downtown Detroit's historic entertainment district, which is located at 440 Clinton Street.
