Annual event benefiting The Journey Home continues to promise incredible surprises, raise funds for Baltimore’s homeless

Nearly 35 percent of all homeless people in the state of Maryland are in Baltimore City. That's enough people to fill all the seats at Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric (2,564), and this fall, The Journey Home – a local nonprofit working to make homelessness in Charm City rare and brief – plans to do just that.

On October 21, one of the most truly iconic R&B groups in music history, Boyz II Men, will take the stage at the annual “An Evening of Unexpected Delights” fundraiser. As in past years, guests can expect food, auction, guest appearance and gift surprises throughout the evening.

General admission tickets are available through Ticketmaster and include the concert and access to the after party. A limited number of VIP tickets, featuring a VIP reception catered by Classic Catering, premium concert seating and access to the after party, are available for purchase online at www.journeyhomebaltimore.org.
