Jill Wiese’s intimate one-night concert to honor the life of her cancer-stricken sister, Barb Wild, nine years ago has evolved into a highly-anticipated — nearly day-long — fundraiser commonly known as Bluegrass goes PINK.
One-hundred percent of the dollars generated by the Saturday gathering at Cross Ranch State Park goes directly to the Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation, which provides vital services to recovering patients.
After a successful 2019 collaborative effort that raised $6,000, Bluegrass goes PINK is coming off a one-year hiatus due to the COVID pandemic last summer, which is driving the cancer facility and its partners to make up for lost time.
