Garret Rolen and his father, Marty Rolen
Nashville recording artist, Robby Hopkins, is set to headline Guitars for Garrett, Feb. 29 at the North Georgia Fairgrounds benefiting cancer patient Garrett Rolen.
Mr. Rolen is an 18-year-old who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, three years ago. According to his father Marty, Mr. Rolen has lost over 100 pounds in his battle against cancer and undergone T-Cell Fusion treatments in Houston, Texas. He is currently waiting an opportunity to get into another trial treatment program, he said.
The benefit is a concert, meal, raffle and auction to help with medical and travel related expenses for Mr. Rolen’s treatment.
Guitars for Garrett will be held Saturday, Feb. 29, from 4-8 p.m. at the North Georgia Fairgrounds, 500 Legion Drive in Dalton. Admission is free and all ages are invited. Donations are welcome.
