Sean McGrath Fund

About Me

The Sean McGrath Fund was created in memory of the late musician (Saves The Day, Mouthpiece, Hands Tied), whose two-year battle with cancer ended in 2004. Through the Princeton Area Community Foundation, our Fund's mission is to financially assist a wide variety of causes reflecting Sean's life, relating to music, compassion, and health issues including cancer.
If you'd like to donate, checks can be sent to the address below. Please make payable to "Princeton Area Community Foundation" with "Sean McGrath Fund" in the memo section.

We have a limited stock of posters from the 6/15/02 Sean McGrath "Hold On To Your Friends" benefit concert (featuring Thursday, Midtown, Taking Back Sunday, and The Movielife) which we are selling for $50 each.
