2nd Annual
Benefit Concert

Saturday, September 23, 2000

The Eric Elias Foundation 2nd Annual Benefit Concert was a success. The foundation raised twice as many generous contributions as the first benefit concert.

The foundation would like to thank The Mike Jeffers Trio, The Long Strange Trip, United Country, Calamity Jams, Kareokee Fred, The Dan Ferris Quartet, New Beginnings and everyone who contributed to make the concert a success.

We would like to send our deepest sympathies to The Long Strange Trip for the passing away of John Eilers and to New Beginnings for the passing away of Robert Sternberg. Our prayers go out to their families and friends.

Here are some of the photos from the benefit concert. (Photos may take a while to download. Thank you for your patience.)
