Crosby to Perform Benefit for Holy Family Church in Las Vegas
Bing Crosby 71 will perform a charity concert November 26 in Las Vegas to raise funds for Holy Family Catholic Church. Organizers expect a 7500 seat crowd at the Alladin Theater for construction of a new church estimated at 750000 dollars with proceeds likely reaching 75000 dollars. Crosby and family will travel from Hillsborough California. Father Ben Franzinelli says the church move from a saloon is essential.
