The Aug. 22 event at Worthy Brewing in Bend will help support the Council on Aging’s resources and services for older adults in Central Oregon. The concerts are free, with tips and raffle ticket sales going to the Council on Aging as donations.
Bend, Ore., August 15, 2019 – A summer of beer and benevolence continues in Bend with an Aug. 22 concert at Worthy Brewing to raise money for the Council on Aging of Central Oregon. The event is part of a monthly series called Non Profit Tunes that benefits different Central Oregon charities.
The free concert goes from 6 to 8 p.m., with musicians donating their tips to the Council on Aging and encouraging contributions. Taking the stage is Auzzie Mark McCord playing guitar to the accompaniment of Deb Reichers on the fiddle. Jimmy Joe McCue performs original songs, and Ellen Jakab sings harmonies with Linda Martin. Attendees can also buy raffle tickets to support the cause and win a private wine tasting for six people — a retail value of $270 — at the new Bledsoe Family Winery tasting room in Bend.
