This concert is part of a continuing effort by PAL to connect with the region’s youth by sponsoring events, sports and functions that encourage the young men and women of Richmond to excel at whatever they pursue.

“All the PAL events across the year deliver excitement and joy as young people collaborate to achieve a success that cannot be accomplished alone,” said Community, Youth and Intervention Services Captain Michael Bender. “This concert, however, is definitely a highlight of the year – and by focusing on the powerful music of Aretha Franklin it’s all the more thrilling.”

Tickets in support of PAL can be purchased at the door for $7.

Members of the public and media are encouraged to attend.
