Musical benefit for local counseling ministry is April 15

When Joe McCarthy's wife died suddenly last September at the age of 48, he decided his family should seek counseling. McCarthy turned to Tri-Cities Ministries. "I was left with two daughters at home,' the Grand Haven man said. "And since my wife's death was sudden, I felt we needed to turn to someone who could help us deal with grief.' The McCarthy family is among a growing number of cases being handled by the Grand Haven religious-based counseling service.

“We’ve been overwhelmed with cases,” Tri-Cities Ministries Executive Director Sarah Lewakowski said.

On Friday, April 15, Tri-Cities Ministries will be conducting its biggest fundraiser — the second annual “Best of Broadway.” The benefit— which features area singers, as well as Tri-Cities Ministries counselors singing — will take place at Spring Lake Country Club. It will begin at 5:30 p.m. with appetizers and cocktails; dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and the entertainment at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $50 per person, $400 for a table for eight and $500 for a table of 10.

Along with the performances by area singers, the event will include an auction of items autographed by such celebrities as Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, Derek Jeter and Troy Aikman.
