The Marshall Tucker Band to Headline Fundraising Event Benefiting Elyria’s Creation House
Paul Grodell, Founding Pastor of Beyond The Walls Church (BTWC) in Elyria, announced today that The Marshall Tucker Band will headline ReCreation: A Concert For Change on Friday, June 24 at the Elyria School Performing Arts Center. All event proceeds will go towards funding Creation House, a treatment and transitional housing facility to be built on the BTWC campus. The event is the first Lorain County appearance in over 20-years for the southern rock band currently in the middle of a 45th Anniversary Tour and best known for such as “Can’t You See,” “Fire on the Mountain,” and “Heard It In A Love Song.”
In addition to The Marshall Tucker Band’s performance, the event will also include an optional pre-show dinner, silent auctions, raffles, and more as well as additional musical performances by Jimmie Bratcher and Jason Green & The Tritones, featuring Becky Boyd.
Creation House will be a residential facility designed to reach the lost, restore the broken, and release the new creation and is based on highly successful models like Outcry in the Barrio and Teen Challenge.
“I believe the heroin epidemic is the plague of the 21st Century,” Grodell said. “Lorain County has one of the highest percentages of deaths per capita in the nation, with 33 fatal overdoses this January & February alone. Creation House will be a home to those in need, even those without resources, who want to walk free of their addictions and destructive lifestyles.”
ReCreate: A Concert For Change will take place on Friday, June 24 at the Elyria Schools Center for the Performing Arts, located at 601 Middle Avenue in Elyria, Ohio. There will be an optional pre-show dinner with silent & live auctions and tickets for the evening will be available beginning April 22.
ReCreation Concert will be the opening event of the larger ReCreation Weekend; community activities on Saturday and Sunday on the BTWC campus will include a motorcycle run, community cookout, nondenominational services, and more.
