"There's been a lot of talk lately about film critics who've lost their jobs and their prestige, but there are worse things that can happen to a writer," The Oregonian's Shawn Levy has written. "And, unfortunately, one of these more serious fates has befallen D. K. Holm, the longtime Portland film and book reviewer, curmudgeon, gadfly, and boulevardier who finds himself battling cancer without the security of medical insurance to help him with the gargantuan bills that his care entails.

"Doug's medical prognosis is, thankfully, hopeful. But his economic situation remains dire. This is where you and I come in.
"On April 27 at Cinema 21, a benefit will be held to help provide Doug with a financial cushion. Various of Doug's many Portland friends -- including Thomas Lauderdale of Pink Martini, filmmaker Patti Lewis, and bluesman Steve Cheseborough -- will perform or present their work, and assorted artworks and dining and entertainment packages will be auctioned off. And donations will be accepted at the door and afterward.
"For complete information about Doug, his writing, and the benefit, as well as details about how you can help if you can't be there on the 27th, visit this page. And keep thinking good thoughts, yeah?"
