For the second year, magician and woodworking enthusiast Jasen Magichas created a one-of-a-kind children’s “crooked playhouse,” perfect for any backyard. Magic founded Born to Play as a result of building playhouses for charity, with plans to donate two houses each year. The design is always a work-in-progress with Magic never sure what the final house will include until he’s finished; he does know that this year’s house will be 7-feet tall at its peak and he plans to include a tire swing. Keeping his focus on Habitat’s mission, Magic believes in using recycled and repurposed materials and other hardware items selected from MCHH’s ReStore – the result is a fun and fabulous structure that embodies the spirit of Habitat for Humanity.

Prior to the concert, the night’s program will celebrate two charitable companies – Level One Bank and Denek Contracting with MCHH’s Spirit Award. The Spirit Award is given to companies that have demonstrated outstanding philanthropic leadership and a commitment to preserving and enhancing the quality of life for Macomb County citizens and MCHH’s partner families.

Tickets are $100 for the main event and VIP tickets for $150. VIP tickets include a private reception and exclusive “meet and greet” with Aaron Neville from 5-6pm. To purchase tickets visit Visit: ow.ly/UOBZ4 or call 586-263-1540.
