Frank Yang Friday nights usually find Torontonians spoilt for entertainment options and tonight will be no exception, but if you're at all unsure of what to do with your evening then consider heading down to Lee's Palace. It's hosting a benefit concert for three young Oakville boys whom, following a tragic series of events, were orphaned in January of this year and in addition to all the emotional devastation, were left in a dire financial situation.
