The 4th Annual Over the Rainbow, a benefit to raise money and awareness for those who struggle with cancer in the LGBT community, will be held Nov. 12 at Sidetrack, 3349 N. Halsted, 7-10 p.m.

Performers appearing in Over the Rainbow include Matt Alber, Amy Armstrong, Molly Callinan, Circuit Mom, Get On The Floor Dance Company, Sharriese Hamilton, Kelly Lauren, Mimi Marks and Chadwick Stadt.

The night will also include a silent auction. The proceeds will benefit Gilda’s Club Chicago, a support community for people living with cancer along with their families and friends. Since its beginning in 2011, Over The Rainbow has raised more than $46,000 for charities such as the American Cancer Society, Howard Brown Health Center, Fred Says, The Night Ministry and Gilda’s Club Chicago. Over The Rainbow was created in memory of Gio Cosentino after he lost his battle to cancer in August of 2011. Although the subject matter is very serious, “OTR” is a very upbeat celebration of his life.

Tickets may be purchased in advance online for $20 or $25 at the door. Admission will include one drink ticket and a chance to win 2 roundtrip tickets from Southwest Airlines.
