We are deeply concerned about the disappearance of 20 year old Virginia Tech student Morgan Dana Harrington, who was last seen while attending our concert at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, VA, on Saturday night.

Benefit concert with local bands

A hard rock and heavy metal concert will be held on Saturday, December 19th at the Canal Club in Richmond. Tickets will be available at the door for $15 and all proceeds will go to the Find Morgan Fund, which supports the Harrington family's ongoing search efforts.

The event, organized by DVS Artist Management & Marchant Entertainment, will begin at 4:00 p.m. with a candlelight vigil for Morgan and will run until approximately 1:00 a.m.

Participating bands include Dangerous New Machine, Whiplash, Chaos Agent, Day Minus 7, At War, Memory Fade, Saint Diablo, and Arch Demon Choir.

The Canal Club is located at 1545 East Cary St., Richmond, VA 23219
