From a release, courtesy of the American Cancer Society:

As part of its 2010 nationwide concert tour kicking off this spring, legendary “rock and roll band with horns” Chicago has joined forces with the American Cancer Society to create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays. The band and the Society, which last year declared itself The Official Sponsor Of Birthdays®, will offer fans the experience of a lifetime, and the chance to contribute to the fight against breast cancer with the Sing With Chicago promotion.

Fans in Richmond, and every other city where the band is performing will be able to bid on a package that includes two premium tickets, backstage passes, and the opportunity to sing the worldwide, classic hit song “If You Leave Me Now” onstage with the band during the concert. The band will play at Innsbrook Afterhours Snagajob.com Pavilion on May 28. Chicago and the Society are making this exciting experience available in dozens of U.S. cities through the end of the year using an online auction on Mission Fish, the charitable arm of eBay. All proceeds will directly aid the Society’s fight against breast cancer. See the auction page. Auction ends May 24.

While only one fan can win the auction for each concert, all fans at the concert will have an opportunity to help save lives and support the breast cancer fight by making a one-time donation to the American Cancer Society by texting the word Chicago to 20222.

They will also be raffling off a 2010 GMC Terrain. Tickets for the Terrain are $5, with the drawing taking place in August.

Tickets for Chicago’s performance at Innsbrook After Hours are $21 in advance, $25 at the gate. You can find them online here.
