Cleveland Brown concert series to aid two quadriplegic sisters Cleveland Brown, an author, composer and recording and performing artist, will present Songs of Freedom in Georgetown next month to raise money for two Port Perry sisters who became quadriplegics after a 2004 car accident. The money will go toward Shannon and Erica Deering's "Shooting for Beijing" project, which is aiming to raise funds so the sisters can have surgery in Beijing that may help restore the use of their hands and fingers. The controversial surgeries, which will cost $120,000, will place cells from aborted fetuses into the damaged areas of the sisters' spinal cords. Brown's show is a musical voyage of love from Africa to the Caribbean in 1767. The show will be held at the Halton Hills Cultural Centre on July 6, 8 and 10, and 20, 22, and 24. It includes an evening of fine dining and entertainment. Tropical cuisine will be served in a cruise ship setting. Tickets for Songs of Freedom are available at Silvercreek Espresso Bar and Lori's Fish & Chips and can be ordered from the box office at 905-877-3700. Dinner and show is $49, and the show only is $25. For more information on the show, contact Brown at weldarone@yahoo.ca. For more information on Shannon and Erica, visit www.angelsfootprints.com.
