Fundraiser Night at Umbrella – Keep that Funk Alive

Sat 4 May, 8 pm
Umbrella Bar

From Umbrella Bar:

Hoa Duc Cong (or CK Animation) is a talented dancer, well-known in the Vietnamese hip-hop scene. This successful 22 year old, has won several awards for his great dance skills and has been acknowledged as the next-big-thing in both Vietnam and worldwide. He has been an amazing inspiration to others who also have big dreams of dancing hip-hop.

Although CK has achieved a lot of success under the stage light, hardly anyone knows that he was born with just 1 kidney. He has a small physique, but has always seemed to be healthy, therefore his family only found out about his condition when he turned 16 – however by then it was too late. His disease had reached the last stage of renal failure. So for the past 6 years, CK has been bravely living with dialysis, 3 times a week.

From the day CK’s family found out about his disease, his family has been doing their best to keep CK alive. His father is a xe-om driver, who has been working hard his whole life to support his family. But year after year, with old age creeping in, he has no longer been able to provide any financial support. The whole family’s income now depends on his mother’s small shop outside a temple in Vietnam.

Dialysis prices have been increasing and to save CK’s life, his family has sold all of their belongings.

The money CK has been able to make through dancing and teaching dance classes could only merely get him through the day, but what he really needs is a kidney transplant.

Which would save his life and keep his bright star shining among us. We, his friends, fans and family, hope that with this fundraiser we can keep CK dancing, making his dream come true and inspiring others with his amazing strength and positivity.
To make CK’s transplant possible we have organized this Fundraiser Night, full of exciting events and are hoping that you will attend and help us save CK’s life.
