A Musical Tribute to Mary Eagan Benefit Album

A number of very talented performers have donated songs from their recorded repetoire towards this compilation CD. Most of these artists have also performed live at the ongoing Benefit concert series. Proceeds from this album are directly donated to the Mary Eagan Garden Fund at the Deaconess-Waltham Hospital, Waltham, MA, USA. The Mary Eagan Garden, which provides a setting of comfort and solace for patients, was opened in April 2001. The ongoing fundraising has covered approximately fifty percent of the cost, with future concerts and CD sales to continue until the goal is reached. (From there, it's on to the next garden patio project).

CD's are now available. To purchase one by mail, please send a check for $ 15 (postage included) to:

(Please put "Deaconess-Waltham Hospital" in the Memo field of the check). Radio stations can obtain a free copy by sending an email to Terry Eagan. Contributions are tax deductible in the U.S.
