Benefit for Japan

A concert to benefit Japan relief efforts is being planned tonight at Glacier Peak High School.

Seattle band Knowmads is one of several acts planning to perform.

The concert costs $15 at the door. It’s presented by the school’s DECA, a club for students hoping for careers in finance, marketing, hospitality and management.

All proceeds are planned to go to World Vision, a Christian humanitarian group dedicated to working with children and families.

On March 11, Japan suffered a massive earthquake off its shore and then a tsunami that hit much of its coastline. Since then, Japanese officials have been dealing with crippled nuclear power plants and other problems.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the concert is planned to run until 11 p.m. The high school is at 7401 144th Place SE, Snohomish.

Relay for Life benefit: A benefit is planned tonight to help Relay for Life. Four bands will play, starting at 8 tonight at Stanwood Hotel Saloon, 26926 102nd Ave. NW in Stanwood.

The bands are Shawn Beebe, The Shallows, Without Arms and Taking Time Out.

Tickets are $5 at the door.

The exhibit, sponsored by the Edmonds-South Snohomish County Historical Society, runs through July 17.
