PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles High School Choirs will present the sixth annual benefit concert for the Captain Joseph House at 7:30 tonight.

The concert will be in the Port Angeles Performing Arts Center, 304 E. Park Ave.

Admission is by donation.

The choirs have raised nearly $15,000 for the Captain Joseph House.

The Captain Joseph House was founded by Betsy Reed Shultz, who is converting her former Tudor Inn at 1108 S. Oak St. into a haven for families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

The plan is to create a retreat and provide an all-expense-paid week-long respite for families of fallen members of the armed services.

The house is named for her son, Army Capt. Joseph Schultz, a Green Beret who was killed in action in Afghanistan on May 29, 2011.
