The big event will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015 from 6:30-10 p.m. at at Joe’s Bar on Weed Street. Country tunes will be featured from musical group Eli Young Band.

Keith is not only exceptional on the ice but he even devotes time to helping out tons of families who could really use the extra assistance so he has all the right to be more than ecstatic for the upcoming concert.

“Thanks to the incredible charity of the Chicago community, this event has continued to grow each year, raising over $300,000 to help families challenged by the financial burdens caused by medical bills,” he said in a press release. “It’s an honor to have such amazing support from our fans, my teammates and the entire organization, and I look forward to enjoying another successful evening with everyone.”

A bit of Keith Relief history

Keith Relief was founded in 2011 by Duncan and his wife. The entire point of the charity is its dedication to help relieve financial burdens and the emotional distress that comes along with loved ones going through any medical crisis. The idea of the charity was created when Keith’s wife, Kelly-Rae, had knee surgery performed in the US and received the bill. The result of the bill compared to the publicly funded healthcare system in Canada was astonishing.

Because of the current issues with the economy, the Keith’s were troubled that a high number of families were suffering and struggling to get by due to medical expenses. To help the people of Chicago, Keith Relief was born. The foundation has developed so much since the start that it even supports a special transplant floor for pediatric transplant patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House near Lurie’s Children.
