Holocene presents:
A Benefit for the Kris Jensen Memorial Fund
On the evening of Sunday, August 2, Rachael Jensen (keyboardist and violinist for the Portland-based pop group Parenthetical Girls) suffered a major tragedy: four members of her immediate family were involved in a fatal car accident while traveling home from an annual family reunion. Her father and two brothers were rushed to an intensive care facility, and are now in the early stages of their recovery. Tragically, Rachael's mother Kris, 51, passed away at the scene.
Kris' extreme kindness and exuberance touched a tremendous number of people, but it was her particular enthusiasm for music and generosity with musicians that broadened her impact to so many people in our community.
To help extend our lasting gratitude to Kris and her family, the members of YACHT, AU, Copy, and May Ling commemorate her life the way she would have wanted: with a big, celebratory concert. In addition to the show, Holocene will also be hosting an Art and Services auction featuring gracious contributions from a wide swath of Portland's creative luminaries (more details on the auction to follow).
All proceeds from the show and auction will benefit the Kris Jensen Memorial Fund, a trust organized to assist the surviving members of the Jensen family with the mounting financial strain of their medical care. Contributions to the fund can also be made via PayPal here:
All contributions are gratefully appreciated.
