Andrew Merriman, the son of Quakertown High School graduate Nick Merriman and his wife Loretta, was born with Biliary Atresia, a potentially terminal liver condition. On December 27, 2008, at just 9 months old, Andrew received a critical liver transplant and is now doing well.

Andrew's grandparents, Terry Merriman and Marlene and John Ruby, are sponsoring a benefit concert on March 21st to help with the astronomical bills. These include the cost of extensive pre-transplant therapy, frequent travel/temporary relocation to a children’s hospital in Seattle and the array of medications that Andrew must take long-term to ensure he does not reject the liver.

As well as a day of music, we will have raffles for original oil paintings and a signed Fender Stratocaster. We hope that you will be able to join us for a day of music and fun.
