A Big Night for A Little Sister: A Benefit Show

On May 5th, the community will come together in a powerful way — with music, with open hearts, and with unwavering love — to support a woman who has faced unimaginable challenges with incredible courage: Amanda "Mandy" Pence.

Mandy’s cancer journey began on May 18, 2022, with what was supposed to be a routine colonoscopy. Instead, it became the first step in a battle no one should have to face. Since that day, Mandy has endured multiple surgeries, countless rounds of chemotherapy, and ongoing physical and emotional challenges — all while holding on to her humor, her heart, and her fierce will to keep going.

After transferring her care to MD Anderson in Houston, TX, and facing recurrence after recurrence — most recently a mass in her right lung discovered in April 2024 — Mandy and her family made the brave decision to pursue holistic and homeopathic treatment options. These treatments have taken her to healing centers in Guadalajara, Mexico and Sedona, Arizona, offering hope where traditional care could not — but also placing a heavy financial burden on her family and loved ones.

"A Big Night For A Little Sister " is more than a concert. It’s a tribute to a life that continues to inspire. It’s a chance to stand beside a beloved sister, friend, daughter, and mother — and remind her that she is not walking this road alone.
​
Join us for a night of live music, community, and hope. Together, we’ll raise funds to help cover Mandy’s medical and holistic care costs — and raise her spirits in the process.

All proceeds to benefit Sweet Relief and the Amanda Pence Fund. If you're unable to attend the show and would still like to donate, please click HERE.
