A cancer-fighting annual benefit returns to Logan County later this month, showcasing the musical and artistic talents of Benjamin Logan students and featuring a barbecue dinner to support this important cause. 

The Benjamin Logan Instrumental Music Department hosts Improvising A Cure, on Thursday, April 23, at 6 p.m., in the Benjamin Logan High School Commons to raise funds for the Logan County Cancer Society. 

Now in its 13th year, Improvising A Cure has become a meaningful tradition within the Benjamin Logan community, bringing together students, families and local supporters for an evening of music and philanthropy. The concert will feature performances by both the middle school and high school jazz ensembles and combos. 

“This event is truly one of the highlights of the year for our Music Department,” organizers shared. “It’s a special opportunity for our students to use their talents to make a meaningful impact in our community.” 

In addition to live jazz performances, attendees can enjoy a variety of activities, including a silent auction featuring student artwork, a bake sale, a 50/50 drawing and a barbecue-themed dinner. Dinner offerings will include pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, cheesy potatoes, coleslaw and more. 

There is no cost to attend the event; however, donations are encouraged. Proceeds from donations at the door, as well as the silent auction, bake sale, 50/50 drawing and T-shirt sales, will benefit the Logan County Cancer Society.  

Donations from the dinner will support the Benjamin Logan Jazz Program. 

Members of the jazz ensembles will also be selling official Improvising A Cure t-shirts during the event. 

The public is invited to attend and enjoy an evening of great music, food and community connection in a relaxed, informal setting.
