This January, join us for an unforgettable night of music and impact with Alpine Cares and the Johnny Holm Band! This special event brings the community together for a shared purpose: supporting local nonprofits, including Call to Freedom, Mission Haiti, The Community Outreach, and the Avera NICU expansion. It’s more than a concert—it’s a celebration of compassion and a commitment to making a difference.

In honor of National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, this event is also a powerful opportunity to spotlight the work being done to combat human trafficking in our community. Call to Freedom is dedicated to supporting survivors and educating the public about this pervasive issue. Events like this allow us to further our mission and ensure that those affected by trafficking receive the care and resources they need to rebuild their lives.

Taking place on a night filled with music from the iconic Johnny Holm Band, this event is not only a chance to have fun but also a moment to reflect on the impact of collective action. By attending, you contribute to the fight against human trafficking and help raise awareness during a month dedicated to shedding light on this important cause.

Tickets must be purchased in advance, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this incredible evening. Secure your spot today by visiting this link. Please note that tickets will not be available at the event.

With proceeds going to Alpine Cares, this concert ensures that every dollar makes a meaningful impact in our community. Whether you come for the music, the mission, or both, you’ll leave knowing you’ve made a difference. Join us as we come together to rock out and support those working tirelessly to end human trafficking and uplift vulnerable populations.
