Bonnie Raitt recently performed two shows in Northern California where she gave shout-outs to the tireless work of Tri-Valley CAREs, as well as free tickets to benefit the group’s fundraising efforts.

Cheers to Marylia Kelley and everyone at Tri-Valley CAREs, and you too Bonnie–keep up the good work!
