Tucson Shooting Victim Promotes Mental Health
Source: ABCnews.com

A congressional aide who was shot in last month's attack in Arizona that
killed six and left U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others wounded said
Wednesday that he's started a fund to promote mental health awareness and civility.

Rising gingerly from a wheelchair, Ron Barber announced the fund, which he said
would pay for programs in schools and in the Tucson community that will take
some of the stigma away from mental illness.

Barber, who is Giffords' district director, was shot in the leg and face in the
Jan. 8 attack outside a Tucson supermarket.

It will be augmented by future public events, including a March 10 concert at the
Tucson Convention Center. Artists scheduled to perform at the concert include
Alice Cooper, Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Sam Moore and Nils Lofgren.

3. Unfortunately, good old Alice...
...Cooper is still an Arizonian, so yes he will be there, unless there is a golf tournament locally.
