OAKLAND — A concert benefiting the Travis Mills Foundation will take place has been organized by aspiring Eagle Scout Adam DeWitt.
The concert will be at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28, in the Messalonskee High School Performing Arts Center, 131 Messalonskee High Drive.
Admission to the concert is free, but donations will be accepted.
The concert will feature many local performers, including the Messalonskee Mastersingers and Jazz Band, the Messalonskee acapella group Messofortes, the Clefnotes acapella group from the University of Maine Farmington as well as other professional music groups.
The concert is part of DeWitt’s Eagle Scout project — a community service activity Boy Scouts have to complete in order to reach the top rank.
DeWitt chose the Travis Mills Foundation as the concert beneficiary because of its importance and the impact Mills and the organization has made and the impression it left on DeWitt, he said.The foundation’s veterans’ retreat in Rome was designed to help wounded veterans and their families cope with everyday life. The retreat still needs all the help it can get in order to continue to grow and help more wounded veterans, DeWitt said.
