On Tuesday Cat’s Cradle hosts a benefit show in honor of Jason Ray, a member of the UNC cheerleading squad who performed as Rameses. Ray, a senior at the university from Concord, was struck by an SUV in Fort Lee, N.J., on March 23 before the Tar Heels played in the East Regional of the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. He died the following morning.
Thousands attended memorial services in Concord last week and Ray’s family has set up a fund in his honor.
The show will feature Psalm 100, a campus Christian a capella group, along with Lakeland and Delorean and 9 pm Traffic. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5. All proceeds will go to the Jason Kendall Ray memorial fund.
People wishing to make contributions to the fund can also send them through Ray’s church. Donations should be made to the Jason Kendall Ray Memorial Fund, care of Concord Christian Church, 3101 Davidson Highway, Concord, N.C. 28027
