Marlborough Moose Lodge to host benefit concert for veterans

MARLBOROUGH – For the second year, Cori Desrosiers is coordinating a special evening to help veterans.

On Saturday, Feb. 1, local bands Bone City and Zen Music Men will headline a benefit for the New England Center and Home for Veterans in Boston.

The event will take place at the Marlborough Moose Lodge, 67 Fitchburg St. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

In addition to the music, there will be food (donated by local establishments) and raffles, including a 50/50.

“I come from a long line of veterans, and I wanted to find a way to give back,” said Desrosiers, who works for Zensar as the U.S. facilities administrator. “While I may not be able to financially support this cause as much as I would like to, I am in a position to put this event together and send the funds to the New England Center and Home for Veterans in Boston.”

Last year, the event raised $5,700, which went to purchase meals and toiletries.

“This year I am aiming for $8,000,” said Desrosiers.

Tickets will be $15 pre-sale, $20 at the door.

Desrosiers is seeking raffle items or food from friends and local business owners.

For tickets or more information, stop by the lodge or text Desrosiers at 508-202-5344.
