98° Announces Special Benefit Show at the Aronoff Center

By:

98° Announces Special Benefit Show at the Aronoff Center Image 98° announced a special show at the Aronoff Center, December 15th at 4:00pm with proceeds going to help Elizabeth "Ellie" Richardson.

Limited tickets for this very special event go on sale today, December 1 at 12 Noon at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.

In a random act of violence on Thanksgiving morning, Ellie Richardson, an employee of Nick and Drew's Lachey's bar, was shot on a street nearby. She is currently in the hospital, improving and in strong spirits. Upon hearing of the incident, Nick and Drew Lachey immediately took to social media to rally their hometown and help their friend in need. In addition to donating to a YouCaring fundraising page that was set up for her, they wanted to do more.

The band 98° - Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre, Jeff Timmons - all have deep roots in Cincinnati and collectively decided to add an additional show to their tour with the proceeds going to Ellie Richardson to aid in her recovery.

For additional information, visit 98degrees.com. If fans are not able to attend the concert, they can still help by donating to: www.youcaring.com/ellierichardson-1021871.
