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.
