If you know Kim Elmore, you know her heart beats to the rhythm of live music. Whether it’s a small local show or a bigger venue, she’s always been the one dancing along, lifting others up, and turning every moment into a memory. Her love of music has brought so many people together — and now, she needs her community more than ever.

Recently, Kim was diagnosed with lung cancer, and her world changed overnight. She is facing surgery and a long road of treatments, appointments, and recovery — a journey that is physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming.

Despite everything, her spirit remains unbelievably strong. Music is still her lifeline — and we want to help make sure she has the support she needs to stay strong.

We are raising funds to help cover:

-Medication and ongoing care

-Time away from work

-Support for day-to-day living expenses during recovery

No one should have to fight cancer with added financial strain. Any amount you can give — large or small — will make a meaningful difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page will help tremendously.

Thank you for supporting Kim, and for helping her stay strong, hopeful, and surrounded by the community she loves… just like at every great show.

With gratitude,

Helen Coatsworth
