What do you get when you combine a strong passion for music, philanthropy and underprivileged children needing help? Rockin’ for Kids!

After years of bouncing around from one cause to another, it became clear what our true calling was.

With our resources, venues and music partners, we now have the unique opportunity to help children’s programs and organizations on a much larger scale while producing amazing, rockin’ musical events!
