Howie and his sister Pollyanna are planning their charity concert -- Lupus 2000 -- in honour of their sister, Caroline Dorough Cochran, who died of complications from Lupus in 1998, Launch.com reports. The benefit will take place in Orlando Florida on June 25 and will feature performances by country singer John Michael Montgomery, A.J. McLean as 'Johnny No Name', and a few surprise guests. Howie and Pollyanna will also perform "Fly To Heaven" at the benefit. The two also hope to release the song as a single. For more information on tickets, send an email to lupusinfo@net4u.net.
