Ball in the House Concert to Aid Local Organizations

ROLLINSFORD—
Tickets are on sale for a fundraising event featuring Ball in the House, Thursday April 15, 7 p.m. Garrison Arts Center in Rollinsford will be the hosting venue of an intimate fundraising concert to benefit programs for children with a chronic health condition.
Ball in the House is a tour de force of vocal sound that must be heard and seen to be believed. This five-man pop and R & B ‘mouth band’ hails from Boston, where they live and operate out of when not touring on the road. Originally formed as a quartet by founder and current vocal percussionist Jon J., Ball in the House has gone through numerous phases and changes on its way to becoming one of the best-known and most-loved acts in the a cappella community today.
The event will start with opening acts by local musicians Connor Garvey and Pete Miller. Silent auction items have been donated by generous contributors. Proceeds from the event will benefit Zebra Crossings programs as well as Garrison Arts Center. Zebra Crossings, a new nonprofit organization based in Dover, provides year round programs to help children with a chronic health condition gain greater self-confidence, a sense of independence, and the opportunity to realize their full potential. Programs are currently available to youth and teens with diabetes, heart conditions, and moderate to severe asthma. Zebra Crossings aims to expand programming to also include a broader range of health conditions and to offer family and sibling retreats.
Tickets are $16 and can be ordered through www.zebra-crossings.org or call 603-749-0308.
