Corey Rose Wishes and Heroes benefit concert returns Saturday

Proceeds from the 14th annual concert will benefit Make-A-Wish Colorado and the Colorado Professional Firefighters Foundation.

LITTLETON, Colo — The Wishes and Heroes Benefit Concert is back for a 14th year.

The 2024 Corey Rose Wishes and Heroes Benefit Concert will be held Saturday, June 22, at 3 p.m. at Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton.

The public is invited to come to the brewery to enjoy music, food, drinks, dancing and three live bands: The Guardians Band, 9's A Pair and Chris Dismuke.

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.

Over the years, Wishes and Heroes has granted dozens of wishes and has helped many firefighters and their family members when tragedy strikes.

To date, Wishes and Heroes has raised more than $500,000, 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.

Tickets for the June 22 concert are $25 in advance at TicketWeb.com. 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.
