Hootie frontman Rucker to play benefit

Wednesday, July 24, 2002 | 9:26 a.m.

Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer Darius Rucker kicks off his new solo album, "Back to Then" with a benefit concert Saturday night at the Green Valley Ranch Resort's Whiskey Beach.

The outdoor concert raises money for the construction of the Lili Claire Foundation / University of Nevada, Las Vegas Life Skills Center, which will provide life skills and job training to people with neurogenetic disorders such as Williams or Down's syndrome when it is completed in January.

Tickets for the 8:30 p.m. concert start at $20 and can be purchased at any Station Casino rewards center, by calling 547-5300 or by going online to www.stationcasinos.com.

KXTZ-FM 94.1 is also hosting a celebrity golf tournament Saturday for the Lili Claire/UNLV Life Skills Center at the Tournament Players Club at the Canyons in Summerlin. To participate call 259-0452.

The Lili Claire Foundation was started in 1998 by Keith Resnick and his wife Leslie Litt-Resnick, the casting director for NBC's "Friends," after their infant daughter Lili Claire died of heart complications associated with Williams syndrome.
