Britt Braudo from Wickedlocal.com is reporting:
AEROSMITH drummer Joey Kramer is helping Beverly-based Health & Education Services with its fundraising and awareness efforts, which include a raffle for an all-inclusive trip to the band’s London show in June.
The non-profit, which helps children and adults who are faced with problems such as depression and substance abuse, is hoping Kramer’s involvement will help raise $1.5 million for its capital campaign to repair many HES buildings across the state and support current programs.
On Wednesday, Kramer brought 12 students from the HES Solstice School program to Fenway Park - where Aerosmith will play August 14 - to announce the partnership and take a tour of the park. He answered questions from the kids about how he overcame his own substance abuse and depression, problems he has addressed in his 2009 autobiography, Hit Hard.
