Milford Food 2 Kids and Title Sponsor—The FSP Foundation to host a Gala at Great River Golf Course at 6 PM. 

The Gala will support the sustainability of our mission to feed local school children. Our goal for the 2019-2020 school year is to raise sponsorships for 160 children. A sponsorship of $280 covers 40 weekly deliveries of food to feed a child over the weekend when they are away from school.

Gala Sponsors from the Milford community and beyond join in the commitment that no child should go hungry, and that if we work together, we can become a solution to food insecurity. Visit Milfordfood2kids.org to celebrate our Gold sponsors: Milford Pediatric, Stonebridge and Big Smiles; and our Silver Sponsors: The Milford Bank, Steven’s Ford, and Subway; and other generous business & individual sponsors.

Food insecurity among children is not unique to Milford. Title sponsor--The FSP Foundation is helping Milford Food 2 Kids share our model and inspire other communities in Connecticut who do not have resource programs or who are underserved with resources.

The Gala will include dinner, live and silent auctions and entertainment by Jay Rowe. Tickets are limited, so visit Milfordfood2kids.org to learn more about registering.

Singer/Lead Guitarist Al Madlinger fronts the band with energetic lyrics and spot on guitar licks paying tribute to your favorite CCR and John Fogerty hits. The new formation has enabled the band to meticulously recreate the equipment, instrumentation, and musical arrangements and meld this into a true concert experience.

“The John Fogerty Tribute Project” is not a cookie cutter tribute act giving you the same songs and robot style performances. Rather, their live, interactive, heart throbbing performances are at the core of a real live John Fogerty concert. An energetic tribute that will bring the house down with all the songs you would expect to hear from both John Fogerty’s Creedence Clearwater Revival years and his solo career. A fitting tribute to the man and his music while maintaining the individual musicianship of each band member and their talent.

The band is also in contact with current members of John Fogerty’s touring band while seeking their advice and critique on the project. “The John Fogerty Project” leaves their audiences with a memorable uplifting rock and roll experience while paying tribute this classic and timeless music everyone knows and loves leaving the fans wanting to do it all again. This  tribute band is an absolute “must see”.  A truly unique experience on the tribute band scene.
