SMOKEY POINT – The homeless need to stay warm with coats in the winter so what better group to perform at a fund-raiser to help them than “The Coats?”
One of the Northwest’s favorite vocal bands, “The Coats,” will perform at a fundraiser concert Monday, Dec. 1.
The North Lakewood Music Booster Organization says money raised will help support the music program at Lakewood High. The school jazz choir will be the opening act.
The concert also will benefit local homeless with a special COATS FOR COATS’ PROJECT. Concert goers are asked to bring a new or gently used coat to the concert. All coats will be distributed to the homeless mission, St. Joseph’s House, in Seattle with the help of Don Hatch and Bambi Klem from St. Ann’s Catholic Church. Every person who brings a coat will be in a drawing for prizes from “The Coats.”
The concert will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Byrnes Performing Arts Center at Arlington High School, 18821 Crown Ridge Blvd., Arlington, WA 98223. Tickets are $16.50. Purchase tickets at www.thecoats.brownpapertickets.com. For details call LHS director of music Katy Trapp at ktrapp@lwsd.wednet.edu.
