Juice Box Donation = Free Concert

kfb-6-92Take in a Sunday afternoon concert and help kids in need in West Michigan get meals all summer.  Some talented area musicians are connecting their music with a drive for donations of juice boxes to help the Kids Food Basket, a charitible organization that provides sack suppers to children living at risk of hunger in the great Grand Rapids area.  KFB distributes well over a thousand meals every weekday through summer school, parks and recreation, and other programs.  One item they add to as many meals as possible is a 100% real fruit juice box.  Donations of juice boxes will get you into sunday’s local all-star show.  The talent on stage at Aquinas College’s Kretschmer Recital Hall will include pianist Roger Mac Naughton, Jon Montgomery on sax, Steve VanRavensway on cello, Charlie Hoats on bass, Mike Hyde on guitar and Steve Anzivino on drums.  McNaughten’s collaboration earlier this year with two high school kids who told him about KFB and later created an original rap about it led to this weekend’s benefit event.  The show introduces the release of Acousitc Arts newest solo piano CD Secret Places and it starts at 3pm.  Donations of juice boxes, food or volunteer service are gratefully accepted by Kids Food Basket anytime.  www.kidsfoodbasket.org
