A concert to raise funds for 16 musical theatre department students at Coquitlam's Gleneagle secondary will be held Sunday night.
Port Moody crooner, American Eagle Outfitters model and Mr. World Canada titleholder Frankie Cena will perform at the event, to be held at the Glenayre community centre (492 Glencoe Dr., Port Moody) from 5 to 9 p.m. with the barbecue catered by Pasta Polo.
Proceeds will go towards the students' trip to New York City, where they will see Broadway shows.
Tickets are $20 and include a burger (beef/veggie or jumbo hot dog), salad (garden or pasta) and either a beer or glass of wine.
The group will also host fundraisers next month including a garage sale and mushroom manure sale on Sept. 14, a pub night at Micky's in Coquitlam on Sept. 21 and a Zumba night at the Coquitlam high school on Oct. 18.
