NEWS RELEASE
ROSE OF SHARON
*************************
Brass Transit invites fans of Chicago to join them Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. for a concert in support of Rose of Sharon, a charity helping young mothers and children in York Region.
Brass Transit, widely considered the world’s greatest Chicago tribute band, will bring together eight of Canada’s most accomplished musicians for the benefit concert at Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts in October.
The band will transport their audience back to the early '70s with hits like Saturday in the Park, 25 or 6 to 4, and Beginnings, while also raising awareness and financial support for a local charity.
Proceeds from the show directly benefit Rose of Sharon Services for Young Mothers, ensuring that young mothers and their children from across York Region can access life-changing supportive services for free.
Amanda, a former participant at Rose of Sharon, shares, “Rose of Sharon helped me grow, and the programs helped me become a better mom. Being a young mom is hard, but it is possible. It is possible to still follow your dreams and know that this is just the beginning.”
Tickets are available online through the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts website or at the box office. The benefit concert is generously sponsored by Ecclesiastical Insurance Canada, RC Design, Jay Miller Real Estate and Jewel 88.5 FM.
