ABOUT THE CAUSE
Friends of Fogelberg is a tribute concert in Amarillo, Texas to honor the late musician, Dan Fogelberg, who lost his life to prostate cancer in 2007.
Joe Ed Coffman, a long-time fan of Dan Fogelberg, began Friends of Fogelberg in 2008. Local musicians come together to put on a benefit concert to celebrate the life and music of Dan Fogelberg, create awareness and education about prostate cancer, raise funds for the fight against prostate cancer, and last but not least, have a great time!
Throughout the years, the concert has expanded to include songs of other musicians such as The Beatles, Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and more. This year the concert, “Dan & Rockin’ the 70s” will be co-hosted by Doppler Dave Oliver, Stephen Cost, and Dr. David Wilhelm of Amarillo Urology. Doppler Dave’s and Steve Cost’s prostate cancer was detected by the free screenings provided by proceeds from Friends of Fogelberg. Without the free screening, they may not be here today to share their stories. Two special guests will be featured this year as well – Jim Wilson and Billy Stull, Amarillo natives. (See attached for details.)
The event benefits the Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation by raising money for an annual free prostate screening that is held the morning following the concert. Over the years, over $400,000 has been raised, over 5,800 men have been screened, and a prostate cancer nurse navigation program has been started in partnership with Amarillo Urology Associates.
