Jeanne Jolly has always been musical. She played piano and harmonica as a child and later took the stage at a Carolina Mudcats game to sing the National Anthem. But when her mother died of ovarian cancer, she picked up the guitar and turned her mourning into music.

Enjoy a girl's night out Saturday evening at Booth Amphitheatre while raising money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.

Girl's Night Out will feature singer-songwriters KT Tunsstall, known for her 2004 hit "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," Judith Hill, who sang with Michael Jackson, Haley Johnsen, Rodes and Jeanne Jolly, a Raleigh singer who picked up the guitar and turned her mourning into music when her mother died from ovarian cancer.

The show is at 7 p.m. Lawn seats start at $34.50 and are available on etix.

A portion of all ticket sales will benefit the Raleigh-based Kay Yow Cancer Fund created in honor of N.C. State University's gold medal-winning women's basketball coach. Yow was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 and died in 2009.

Since its inception, the fund has awarded $7.8 million to scientific research grants and programs fighting all cancers affecting women.
