LITTLETON, Colo — The Wishes and Heroes Benefit Concert is back.
Over the years, Wishes and Heroes has granted dozens of wishes and has helped many firefighters and their family members when tragedy strikes.
9NEWS Mornings anchor Corey Rose started the concert fundraiser in 2011 to honor the memory of her father, Gary, who passed away from work-related leukemia. Gary was a PJ in the Air Force and a Los Angeles City firefighter in for 32 years.
To date, Wishes and Heroes has raised more than $250,000, with half going to Make a Wish Colorado to grant wishes for kids fighting leukemia or lymphoma, and half going to the Colorado Professional Firefighters Foundation.
The 2023 Wishes and Heroes Benefit Concert will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, June 24, at Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton.
The public is invited to come to the brewery to enjoy music, food, drinks, dancing and three live bands: Chris Dismuke, 9's A Pair, and Funkiphino.
Tickets are $25 in advance at TicketWeb.com or $30 at the door. Kids 12 and under are free.
Your tax deductible donation goes a long way in helping fire families and wish kids in the fight of their life.
