This week Michaelina Bellamy is to be issued a check for $9,600, money raised at a benefit in her honor at South Point Showroom on Oct. 16. A total of 292 tickets were sold, a pretty good turnout for a Sunday afternoon. That money raised help offset Bellamy’s staggering medical bills, which amassed since she was diagnosed with bone cancer in March.
The former vocalist in the Air Men of Note United States Air Force Band, in “Folies Bergere” and for Engelbert Humperdinck is still in need of spiritual and financial support, as she has suffered further health challenges and complications since the benefit show and has been briefly hospitalized.
I talked with Michaelina over the weekend, and she was in a great mood, talking of singing in public again, just to keep her spirits up. She can still bring it vocally, no question, as her version of “He Is Exalted” at the Oct. 16 show reinforced. Further donations on her behalf can be made to the Lions HealthFirst Foundation: Michaelina Bellamy Fund, 5040 Edna Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89146.
