MAHIMA – Music For Life Benefit Concert | Oct. 2nd, 2011

“MAHIMA – MUSIC FOR LIFE”

 
MAHIMA was launched in November 2009 in honor of and to raise funds for the late Monique “Mahima” Geourzoung – close friend of the ZEN family – as she battled the effects of breast cancer.

In keeping with Monique’s wishes, ZEN has continued to host the event annually as a benefit concert for all other cancer patients of the HOPE INSTITUTE. This institution, a brainchild of the Jamaica Cancer Society, opened its doors in 1963 and today continues to provide top quality treatment and care for terminal cancer patients in Jamaica, at little or no cost to patients.
