To help turn up the volume around hepatitis C a benefit concert featuring The Allman Brothers Band and Natalie Cole will be held in New York on July 27, the eve of World Hepatitis Day. Proceeds from the benefit concert will be donated to community-based organizations that provide education and support services to people with chronic hepatitis C. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/legendary-musician-gregg-allman-joins-merck-and-american-liver-foundation-to-launch-tune-in-to-hep-c-public-awareness-campaign-124274739.html
