If you have ever been to a punk or hardcore show in NJ, you've probably met Paul White, known to everyone as Swank. Over the years, Swank has booked countless shows through Shore Style Punk Night, not only growing the punk and hardcore scene at the Jersey Shore, but also creating a positive environment for anyone who wants to enjoy underground music. He is like a brother to all — always the first to help anyone in need, often people he doesn't even know. Now he needs our help.

Swank was recently diagnosed with cancer, which has metastasized to a lymph node in his neck. Further testing is needed to determine his treatment plan. Unfortunately, his insurance is making an extremely difficult time even harder.

If you are able to donate, please do so — every contribution helps. All money raised will go towards his medical bills, which are rapidly increasing, as well as treatment costs and living expenses. Swank was a union ironworker who currently works at a wholesale fish market. He is the definition of blue collar, and any donation will help him get the treatment he needs.

Please share this post. We will share updates when they become available.
