Benefit Concert for Max Cahoon

Benefit Concert for Max Cahoon

Join us in helping Max beat leukemia—for the second time!

Come enjoy an evening of live music, community, and compassion.

  • Music by: LakeTown Sound

  • Food Trucks: Donating a portion of proceeds

  • Raffle Items: All proceeds benefit the Cahoon family

About the Cause

We’re calling on our community to rally around Chelsea and Max Cahoon and their two children. Max bravely fought acute myeloid leukemia in 2022 and went into remission after a bone marrow transplant. Sadly, in July of this year, his cancer returned.

Chelsea, a dedicated cardiac nurse at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, has tirelessly supported her family while Max has been unable to work. Now, Max must undergo 45 days of aggressive intravenous chemotherapy in Seattle, with a 70% chance of remission. During this time, Chelsea will homeschool their children while also stepping away from work.

This benefit concert will help offset the significant treatment and family expenses as they face this challenge together.

How You Can Help

Come enjoy a night of music and community, knowing that every raffle ticket, every food truck order, and every dollar raised will directly support the Cahoon family.

❤️ Together, we can help give Max and his family the chance to resume a healthy and happy life.

For questions, please reach out to Kelsey Stan at 📞 208-818-5303
