Enthusiasts in the Chicago area will have a chance to come out and see KaBOOM! recognized on Aug. 24 as part of the “Sing Me Back Home” concert featuring the New Orleans Social Club, which includes acts such as Ivan Neville, The Meters, Raymond Weber & Henry Butler, Irma Thomas, Troy Andrews, John Boutte and Willie Tee. 

KaBOOM! will be featured as one of three non-profits at the concert, which will be held at Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. The organizers of the event wanted to seize the opportunity to acknowledge organizations that are constantly working to improve conditions in the New Orleans/Gulf Region. With more than half of 100 Operation Playground builds in the books, KaBOOM! certainly fit the bill! Learn more here.
