MILWAUKEE –– “Rebuilding Dreams,” a combination concert, reception, dance and silent auction to benefit the Repairers of the Breach daytime resource center for the homeless, will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9, at the Lakefront Brewery, 1872 N. Commerce St.
The combination concert, held for its third year by Elizabeth D’Acquisto, owner of Salone styling salon, will feature live music by Five Card Stud, a performance by the Repairers of the Breach choir, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction.
“Our previous ‘Rebuilding Dreams’ events have proven to be popular and purposeful,” D’Acquisto said in a press release about the two previous programs that raised more than $50,000 for Milwaukee’s only daytime homeless shelter. “People have enjoyed the music, food and festivities. And at the end of the event we have made a difference in improving the lives, health and hopes of the homeless men, women and children in the area.”
Tickets are $60, and can be purchased at Salone, 925 E. Ogden Ave. and the Repairers of the Breach administrative offices, 2819 W. Highland Ave.; or by phone at (414) 291-6161. That is also the number to call in order to donate silent auction items.
