NEGAUNEE - An up-and-coming musical performer will headline a fundraiser-benefit concert in October for Great Lakes Recovery Centers.
Ashlyn Roskowski, along with her band The Breakers, will perform on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Strega Nonna in Negaunee. Their performance will be part of an evening to help raise money for GLRC's Compassionate Care Fund. The event is sponsored by Dr. Mike Grossman and an anonymous donor.
"We're so thankful to Rachael Grossman at Strega Nonna to again work with us on this benefit concert," said Greg Toutant, executive director of Great Lakes Recovery Centers. "We look forward to a night of taste-temping food and quality entertainment."
Added Jim LaJoie, chief development officer for GLRC: "For those who haven't seen Ashlyn perform, you're in for a treat. She is incredibly talented and promises to deliver a terrific concert."
Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with a buffet from 6-7 p.m. Then, Roskowski will hit the stage for a set. She will be joined by her band in the second set.
Reservations can be made by visiting www.glrc.org/glrc-foundation. Seats are $75 apiece and space is limited. You can also click on the QR code on the website to reserve seats.
The Compassionate Care Fund provides invaluable resources for those uninsured, underinsured or lack the financial ability to access GLRC services. In 2025, some 89 clients from across the Upper Peninsula accessed the fund to received much-needed services.
Coupled with the 19th Annual Run for Recovery held in September, GLRC expects to raise in excess of $25,000 to replenish the fund.
A silent auction will also be held at the event, with prizes ranging from restaurant gift certificates to tickets to an upcoming Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings football game.
