Arvada Strong Fundraiser: Concert, Restaurants, Parking

ARVADA, CO — An Arvada Strong fundraiser is set to bring the community together Thursday with free live music and more than a dozen participating local restaurants.

"Join us for a special edition of Thursday Nite Bites as we come together as a community to heal and give back," organizers said.

The special event was organized in the wake of the shooting that took the lives of Arvada police officer Gordon Beesley and Samaritan Johnny Hurley.

The event is set to run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are $50, and all proceeds will benefit the following funds:

• CO Fallen Hero Fund
• John Hurley GoFundMe
• Jefferson Center for Mental Health

The free live music All Star Jam will feature Chris Daniels, Hazel Miller, Drienka and Brian Mikulich. You don't need a ticket to enjoy the music.
