The VOCAL MAJORITY CHORUS TO HEADLINE ‘HELPING TO HEAL” CONCERT
The communities of Allen, Frisco, Plano and McKinney are orchestrating a
concert with hopes of raising $500,000 to benefit The American Red Cross
-- and help hurricane evacuees, who have relocated to Collin County.
The Vocal Majority Chorus, America’s Premier Pops Chorus, will headline
the “Helping to Heal” benefit concert on Saturday, September 24 at
Pizza Hut Park, which is located on the northeast corner of the North Dallas
Parkway and F.M. 720/Main Street, in Frisco. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and the
concert begins at 7 p.m.
The “Helping to Heal” Benefit Concert will also feature high school
choirs from Frisco, McKinney and Plano. A jazz band, from Collin County Community
College, will greet guests as they enter the new 20,000-seat stadium. The concert
will conclude with a fireworks finale.
Tickets are $10 for general admission and will be available starting Saturday,
September 17 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster online at www.ticketmaster.com or
by calling 214-373-8000 or 972-647-5700. The convenience fee will be donated
back to the event. Tickets will also be available through the school districts
in Allen, Frisco, McKinney and Plano, beginning Monday, September 19. You can
also purchase tickets at the Pizza Hut Park box office on the day of the concert,
starting at 11 a.m.
All proceeds from the concert, including sales from concessions and donations,
will benefit The American Red Cross, as well as social service agencies throughout
Collin County, which are assisting the cities of Allen, Frisco, Plano and McKinney
with Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts.
Those cities have selected the following agencies to share the proceeds: Allen
Community Outreach, Assistance Center of Collin County, Children’s Medical
Center, Frisco Family Services, God’s Food Pantry, Interfaith Disaster Relief
of Collin County, Plano Food Bank and the Samaritan Inn.
Chuck Brinkman, from 98.7 KLUV, and Macie Jepson, from WFAA TV-8, will emcee
the benefit concert.

Stadium, Frisco High School and Warren Sports Complex.
