On October 11, 2009, the Karen Chandler Trust held its 6th Annual Beach Music Festival and Team Daniel, LLC was proud to be one of the sponsors of the event! The event took place at the Sol Rose Amphitheatre at Campbellton Landing on the Cape Fear River. We had several members of the Team Daniel staff who participated in the event and they had a wonderful time spending their day raising money for those diagnosed with cancer in our area.
The Karen Chandler Trust has been doing great things for those with cancer in the Cumberland County area for many years now. The KCT started when Karen Chandler, a local musician, was diagnosed with breast cancer. A group of local musicians held a benefit to aid Karen and her family with the financial burdens she was facing because of her illness. Karen, a single parent of two, lost her battle with breast cancer on August 4, 1999, but her friends and family wanted to continue their giving to those in need. They decided to establish the Karen Chandler Trust as a formal North Carolina Non-profit Corporation. The KTC has continued to grow and aid those in need for several years now. Their first beach benefit was held in September of 2004 and has been quite successful every year. To date, the Karen Chandler Trust has raised and distributed $150,000 to cancer patients in the Cumberland County area. The money given helps patients with expenses such as food, shelter, transportation, and medical treatments.
