The Lexington community is coming together again to raise money for Kennedy Branham, a Lexington teenager undergoing treatment for a malignant brain tumor.

Five local bands will play at a benefit concert Saturday at JT's on the Pond on Wing Hill Road. A barbecue plate is included in the $10 ticket price. 

Organizers are also planning a silent auction for the event with items from local businesses, as well as a 50/50 drawing.

Branham, a 13-year-old Lexington middle-schooler, has been battling cancer since February. Since then, family, friends and others in the community have held benefits to help cover the medical costs of Branham's treatment.

DJ Ray Ray will be selling tickets for Saturday's event during his "Pray 4 Kennedy" Radio-Thon from 6 to 10 p.m. Thursday. The show will be broadcast live from the Sonic on Assembly Street. He'll also be accpeting donations for shoutouts and requests to benefit "Pray 4 Kennedy" . Listen to the show live. 

Tickets can also be purchased by calling 803-917-4293. For more information visit the Pray 4 Kennedy Facebook page.
