PEMBROKE — Community Transportation Agencies across Renfrew County from Arnprior to Deep River to Barry’s Bay are working together with the Champlain Community Transportation Collaborative on its third Bluegrass Charity Concert. If you enjoy Bluegrass, or great acoustic music and want to show your support for people across Renfrew County – come out on Sunday, July 15th for a wonderful evening of entertainment by Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice.
The cost of medical travel can cause great hardship to those living on a fixed income. This is especially true for long distances and for dialysis treatment, which usually happens three times each week! The Transportation Collaborative, working under the sponsorship of Carefor Health & Community Services, works to provide as much subsidy as possible for those who need it.
This event will help those who have life threatening medical conditions and need transportation to obtain treatment. The evening will start at 4 p.m. with a Volunteer Recruitment fair (Madawaska Room) and a Charity BBQ in the parking back lot, with entertainment provided by local Ottawa Valley musicians. The concert will follow, starting at 7 p.m. for ticket holders. Advance tickets are $20 and $25 at the door. Tickets can be purchased from your Local Home Support Agencies or from Carefor Health & Community Services.
All of the proceeds will go to Renfrew County Community Transportation Collaborative subsidy fund.
