Javier Colon Concert to Benefit Young Survival Coalition Breast Cancer Org

Javier Colon (winner of NBC, The Voice) Concert Bus Trip Friday, Sept 20th

Please join us for this special event to benefit the Young Survival Coalition, a foundation for helping young women cope with and overcome breast cancer. www.youngsurvival.org

The St George Men’s Group is taking a group of 50 people from Guilford, CT to the Bijou Theater in Bridgeport to see Javier Colon, a local born singer-song writer. Javier was the first winner of NBC’s, “The Voice.” He’s shared the stage with greats like Stevie Nicks, Maroon 5 and Stevie Wonder. His music appeals to many audiences and is a mix of pop, rock, soul, folk and R&B. Javier’s rendition of Stitch by Stitch, sung on “The Voice,” went as high as #17 on the US Billboard Chart. You might have also seen him sing at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony, White House 4th of July concert, on Jay Leno or at various NHL, NBA and NFL events.
