GAYLORD, MI -- There's an effort to support the victims of Japan's earthquake happening this weekend.

Impact Music Festival is holding a special concert at Mount Hope Church in Gaylord, with all proceeds to be used with relief efforts in Japan.

The money will be donated to Salvation Army and Samaritan's Purse.

"Of course we always want a phenomenal impact to take place. The church capacity is about 300 people, so if you multiply that out and we pack the place, at 300 people, $10 a piece, that's $3,000, that would be great, even more is better of course," said Stacy Todd, concert organizer.

The concert doors open at 5:30 Saturday at Mount Hope Church.

Ticket prices at $10 a piece.
