April 16, 2013 /3BL Media/ - Tickets are now on sale for “An evening with Quincy Jones & Friends,” a concert benefitting the American Cancer Society’s 100th Birthday, on Thursday May 23 at 8 p.m. at Atlanta’s historic Fox Theatre. The legendary music producer will be joined by special guests including James Ingram, Patti Austin, Siedah Garrett, Nikki Yanofsky and Alfredo Rodriguez. For ticketing information, visit [FoxTheatre.org](http://ev10.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3AFTA%3AFOX13%3AQUI0523%3A&linkID=fta&shopperContext=&pc=&caller=&appCode=&groupCode=QUI&cgc=).

The American Cancer Society is using its 100th birthday on May 22nd to encourage people to join together, make noise and take action to finish the fight against cancer. The Society urges everyone to make some noise by donating at cancer.org/fight, participating in a local [Relay For Life](http://www.relayforlife.org/) or [Making Strides Against Breast Cancer](http://www.cancer.org/makingstrides) walk in their community and/or enrolling in its groundbreaking [Cancer Prevention Study-3](http://www.cancer.org/cps3) to find better ways to prevent cancer.

Today, two out of three people diagnosed with cancer are surviving the disease (for at least five years). More than 400 people a day in the U.S. are celebrating birthdays that would have otherwise been lost to cancer. As the Official Sponsor of Birthdays ™, The American Cancer Society will continue to make noise by amplifying its efforts to ensure lifesaving cancer research gets funded; by making sure people facing cancer have the help they need, such as a free place to stay during treatment or a ride to get there; and by fighting for equal access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, and [clean air](http://pressroom.cancer.org/index.php?s=43&item=425# "Click to Continue > by I Want This").
