Milas J. Armour III and Friends will perform starting at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $50 and available by calling Herbert Hill at 312-504-1937 or James Warren at 773-206-4009.
The school has been trying to raise $250,000 over the last six months through a GoFundMe campaign. A total of $15,710 has been raised so far.
