For the third year in a row, ten artists will issue or reissue their albums on pink vinyl to raise money for Gilda’s Club NYC. The non-profit is named after comedienne Gilda Radner who died from cancer in 1989 at the age of 43.
“Gilda’s Club’s mission statement is simple, ‘No one should face cancer alone,'” Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian said in a statement. “The vital support they give to cancer patients and their families is truly a noble cause and we are honored to be able to help.”
