ALBANY, GA -- Folks gathered Saturday night to help raise money for an 8-month-old cancer patient.

The benefit was held at the State Theatre.

8-month-old Mason Glass has retinoblastoma.

Glass has three tumors in his left eye and is getting chemo treatments in Atlanta.

Folks paid an entry fee of $5 and participated in a silent auction and heard from local bands like Bonfire, Justin Paul and the Ryan West Band.

Family members tell Fox 31 that Mason's doctors are seeing an improvement since his last trip.
