Olsen hosting country music concert to benefit foundation

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Bears tight end Greg Olsen will host the “Shake the Lake Music Festival” at Joe’s on Weed Street in Chicago on Friday, Nov. 13 at 8 p.m.

The country music concert will feature David Nail and Keith Anderson and benefit Receptions for Research—The Greg Olsen Foundation. Funds raised will go to organizations dedicated to breast and brain cancer research and treatment, as well as Children’s Memorial Hospital.

Olsen founded Receptions for Research after his mother, Susan, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been cancer-free for several years, but the cause remains close to the Olsen family. 

Tickets are $50 for general admission, and $100 for VIP access, which includes cocktails, appetizers, and the opportunity for a meet and greet with the bands and some Bears players. Tickets are available at www.Ticketmaster.com, or can be purchased at Joe’s (cash only).
