COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Burnside Senior Center in Coldwater has truly received the gift of music.
State Representative Eric Leutheuser and Senator Mike Shirkey recently hosted a benefit concert at Tibbits Opera House for the Burnside Senior Center, raising over $2,500. The concert featured singer Helen Welch with a tribute to the music of The Carpenters.
Over 150 people attended the concert. Ticket proceeds went directly to the Burnside Senior Center in Coldwater and Perennial Park in Hillsdale.
According to Amy Duff, Executive Director for the Branch County Commission on Aging, the money will be used to support the Burnside Center’s Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program, a low impact water exercise program that helps older adults with arthritis live with less pain and more mobility. The program is available to Branch County seniors free of charge.
