Paul Raney Cancer Recovery Fund

Paul was one of the most recognizable figures in the South Jersey – Philadelphia music scenes during the late 70’s through the 80’s, mixing sound and doing lights for some of the most iconic local club bands of that era. Later he brought his talents to the Atlantic City entertainment scene and established himself as a well-respected stagehand in region. Those of us who know him probably have quite a few stories that will have folks on the floor laughing!

8 months ago, Paul was diagnosed with throat cancer at the age of 58. After a long hard battle and months of treatment, Paul has turned the corner, but unfortunately the side effects of his treatment have had a negative impact, which has left him all but bed ridden. Although Paul’s long term prognosis is positive, he’s facing a lengthy road to recovery. His treatment has prevented him from working for the past 8 months, his recovery time is anticipated to be up to a year before he’s able to get back the job he enjoys and loves.

As a proud worker of modest means that never asked anyone for help, his self-reliance, while admirable, is now unsustainable. He can no longer pay for his home. His bills are long overdue and continue to pile up. His resources are exhausted. He continues to fight the good fight, but as his friends we want to help him make that fight about his recovery, not about his home and family. Don’t let him fight alone.

Please join us in supporting Paul. Thank you for your consideration.
