In 2020, Brayden's Benefit: North of 80 Music festival was created by friends and family of Brayden Blackwell to raise awareness about his Ring 18 diagnosis and other chromosome 18 abnormalities. In honor of Brayden, proceeds raised from this event benefit the Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society, a non-profit organization that funds the only dedicated research center in the world for chromosome 18 conditions.

Brayden's Benefit includes a weekend of live music from musicians and bands of various genres, a 5K Run/Walk, and a FREE Kids' Fishing Derby! There will be food trucks and a variety of vendors, Camping is available for tents and campers, with cabins also available for rent. All parts of this incredible event will be held at the Stony Fork Creek Campground location a few miles outside the town of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania.

Come out, camp, run, and enjoy some live music all for a great cause!

Proceeds benefit the Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society
