PIP SQUEAK A GO GO CURE JM BENEFIT!
Presented by The Devil-Ettes and Baby Doe Productions this event is a BENEFIT for the Cure JM Foundation (www.curejm.org), which hopes to find a cure for Juvenile Myositis, an extremely rare autoimmune disease. In particular, this is a benefit in the name of Mielle Gonzalez, a 8-year-old Alamedan who was diagnosed with JM at the age of 5. Since then, she has endured treatment involving powerful drugs that come with major, horrible side effects, including terrible headaches and nausea, excessive weight gain, wild rages and mood swings. Her life now involves regular blood draws, intravenous drug treatments, and trips to a specialist in Chicago.
Shockingly, for a disease that strikes 3 children out of one million, there are now THREE known cases of juvenile dermatomyositis in Alameda. Cure JM provides invaluable support to these local families and others like them, and funds research into better treatments and ultimately a CURE for this dreaded disease. You can read more about Mielle and her story here: www.mielle-jdm.blogspot.com
It’s a Special Rockabilly Show and Benefit for Cure JM!

Established in 2006, Pip Squeak A Go Go has been the most rockin’ dance party for all ages! We are excited to be back in Alameda for our second dance party benefit for Cure JM. They’re working to find a cure for juvenile dermatomyocitis, a debilitating disease whose symptoms include muscle weakness and pain, severe fatigue, rashes and a whole host of others. The disease affects 5,000 children here in the United States – including two girls in Alameda, CA.
