In December 2017, Garcia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, secondary to the diagnosis of a malignant teratoma of the of the abdomen in December 2016. She is currently receiving treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“The Tri-Mu Symphony Orchestra musicians look forward to giving their time and musical talent to this worthwhile cause,” WTHS orchestra director and Tri-M advisor Judy Pagon said. “Sherice is a kindhearted and thoughtful student who is hardworking and always has a smile on her face. We are hopeful that this concert will not only lift the spirit of the Garcia’s, but also assist them with unforeseen financial hardships that have been complicated by the costs of Sherice’s medical care.”
