Under the musical direction of Bobby Bandiera, The Hope Concert is an annual community benefit concert produced by the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ starring an All-Star lineup of Jersey Shore musicians. All the musicians volunteered their time and the theatre donated its venue so that as close to 100% of the proceeds as possible would benefit the charity. This years beneficiary was the Parker Family Health Center in Red Bank, a volunteer-based, free health care facility where Monmouth County residents without medical insurance or the ability to pay can be cared for with the same level of dignity and confidentiality afforded in the private sector.
