Brad Nye and Friends Present Hope for Tomorrow Benefit Concert

Come for a special benefit concert with Brad Nye and Blue Jean Friday Morning, a group of local talented high schoolers from Clarendon
Hills and Hinsdale. Members of the band are Brad Nye, Caroline Morris, Jim Walker, Graham Hooten, Danny D'Nofrio and Darryl Larsen. Brad and his group

will put their testimony to music and song. Expect an unplugged event with plenty of jamming with additional performances by special guests. The concert
will feature the song All I Have Is Hope,
written by Brad and Caroline Morris.


There will be a Free Will offering to benefit Hope for
Tomorrow, Hope for Tomorrow, a not-for-profit social services agency that operates 6 highly-structured, clinically-guided, substance-free homes, in Kane County, Illinois, for adults suffering from the disease of mental health, PSTD and addictive disorders. Jeff Gilbert is the founder of Hope for Tomorrow. While working as an Alcohol & Drug Counselor at an extended residential treatment facility, Jeff witnessed many of the same individuals bounce back and forth from the streets, to jails, to institutions and back to treatment. Some ended up in prisons, while others languished on long waiting lists for a residential
bed, and others died before they could return to treatment. Those who successfully completed short-term, highly-structured programs were often sent to transitional housing with virtually no structure or supportive services. A facility providing the appropriate level of care for this population simply did

not exist. Jeff, his wife Janet, and Jeff's mother, Carolyn Duetsch, opened

Hope for Tomorrow, Inc. to fill this void in the Continuum of Care.

The concert begins at 4:30pm, Sunday, February 9th at Christ Lutheran Church of Clarendon Hills, 60 55th St. Tickets are $4 when purchased before Feb. 2nd, and $5 after Feb 2 and at the door.
