Ray Burdett Fundraiser “A Day for Ray” Jam
Written by SGN Scoops Staff on July 8, 2011 – 4:17 pm -
A fundraiser for Ray Burdett to help with his medical expense for the cancer treatment that he is receiving will be Saturday, July 9 at the Barbara Fairchild Diner in Branson, MO beginning at 12 Noon!
Pickers and Singers all day at the Diner. Help raise funds for Ray!
Ray was diagnosed with two tumors on his liver in April 2011. Since that time, he has been working with doctors (currently a treatment team at CTCA-Tulsa), and has had a round of radiation and other treatments in the hopes of annihilating the cancer. As you can imagine, fighting cancer or any other disease takes a lot of energy.
More than anything, Ray values your prayers for healing. Friends and family members around the world are praying for his complete restoration to good health. In addition, pray for peace and comfort for both Ray, and his family and close friends as they face this battle together.
Born into a family of Gospel singers, Ray has spent his life as a professional singer — Gospel and Country. He has been all over the world, working with such artists as Loretta Lynn, Wayne Newton, Charley Pride, the Statesmen, Willie Wynn and the Tennesseans, Bob Wills and the Inspirationals, the Blackwood Singers, and many more.
His amazing bass voice has been heard on many recordings, television shows (he was a member of the Hee Haw Gospel Quartet in the later years of the show, and was featured on the rendition of “God Bless American Again” with Loretta Lynn on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
