SOUTH EGREMONT, Mass.— Lauren Ambrose and Gary Happ will MC Construct's annual Warm Up the Winter benefit concert with the the Berkshire Children's Chorus, the Wanda Houston Band, Billy Keane, Hot Sauce, and Misty Blues.

 

The campaign focusses specifically on the issues Berkshire residents face during the winter months by helping homeless, low income, and middle income Berkshire residents, including professionals—cope with the after-affects of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

 

"Warm Up the Winter has become a core fundraiser for us," said Jane Ralph, Construct's Executive Director. "Winter creates serious challenges for many Berkshire households. More and more people are looking at their bills and deciding between heat, medicine, and food, choices no one should ever have to make. This campaign directly assists households facing these choices."

 

The concert is March 2 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 5 pm.

 

The concert will be held in the Egremont Barn on 17 Main Street.

 

Tickets are $30. There will be food and a full bar.
