Alice Hershey, the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe's phenomenal Community Outreach Coordinator, was struck by a car while riding her bicycle on August 14. She suffered severe head trauma and remains in a coma. Her parents Joan and Gordon, and sister Elizabeth have been by her side nearly constantly. This has meant uncompensated time away from work for the family, regular travel for her parents between Philadelphia and their home in Indiana, and many other unexpected expenses.

As friends of the Hershey family, the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival is doing all they can to help them during this difficult time, including hosting a fundraiser to offset some of their expenses. All proceeds will directly benefit the Hershey family. Please help us support them during this extremely difficult time. Even if you can't attend, donations to the Hersheys of any size can help.

Admission: $50 donation ($25 donation for students)

Admission includes complimentary bowling and food.

There will be a cash bar with drink specials.

You can reserve your spot in advance by donating through PayPal (recommended due to limited capacity at the event). Just follow this link: http://www.tinyurl.com/alleysforalice

Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door. If you reserve in advance via PayPal your name will be added to an at-the-door admission list (no physical admission tickets will be issued).
