The Fabulous Greaseband Returns to Sunnybrook Ballroom for Meals on Wheels Fundraiser

The Fabulous Greaseband, a seven-member nostalgic dance-party band and concert attraction, will return to the historic Sunnybrook Ballroom on Saturday, October 5, for the annual Meals on Wheels fundraising event.

The Fabulous Greaseband
features outstanding male and female lead vocals in a front trio backed by a gifted group of instrumentalists. They perform extensively along the East Coast with their popularity centered between Washington, D.C. and New York City. Their highly entertaining and energetic delivery of some of the greatest songs ever written has kept the group on top for well over 30 years.

Funds raised during this event will benefit Family Services’ Meals on Wheels program. Each weekday, Meals on Wheels provides two meals, a hot lunch and a cold supper to refrigerate, to an average of 160 homebound elderly and disabled individuals in Pottstown, Royersford and the Lower Perkiomen Valley. Community volunteers personally deliver approximately 80,000 meals a year, bringing nourishment, friendship and a kind word to those most in need.

“Thanks to the community’s ongoing support of our fundraising efforts, we are able to serve seniors and disabled individuals who turn to our program for assistance,” said Ruth Hood, program director, Meals on Wheels. “As the senior population in the western portion of Montgomery County continues to grow, Family Services’ Meals on Wheels program strives to support the goal of the Meals on Wheels Association of America — that no senior goes to bed hungry.”

The show will be held on Saturday, October 5 at the historic Sunnybrook Ballroom, 50 Sunnybrook Road, Pottstown. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 per person (general admission). Advance tickets are recommended. A limited number of reserved tables (8 seats) are still available. A cash beverage and snack bar will be available. In addition, there will be a 50/50 drawing and several raffle items, including lift tickets to Bear Creek Mountain Resort and two rounds of golf at Limerick Golf Club.

For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Ruth Hood at 610-326-1610 ext. 336 or rhood@fsmontco.org or visit www.fsmontco.org/events. Tickets may be purchased weekdays between 9 a.m.–4 p.m. at Family Services’ Pottstown Office, 1976 East High Street, Pottstown. Cash, checks and credit cards accepted.

Generous sponsors of this event include Exelon/Limerick Generating Station; BTC Foods; Janney Montgomery Scott; Pottstown Memorial Medical Center; Sanatoga Ridge Community; and SMJ Construction.
