The two year anniversary show of Rock for Charity is Friday March 9th 2012 at La Maison in Cornwall. The eighteenth installment of Rock for Charity hosted by event organizer and founder Jason Setnyk will benefit the Canadian Children's Aid Society of SDG.
Booked to play Friday November are Rodney Rivette, Kings Bishop (acoustic set with Marc and Adam), Brendan John Mason, and more TBA.
About $8000 has been raised in grand total for various charities and non profit groups including the Agape, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Baldwin House, OSPCA, and Tri-County Literacy Council just to name a few. All are charities and non-profit groups that make Cornwall and SDSG a better community.
Every month musicians, bands, and artists volunteer to perform and play. “We've had well established musicians like Graham Greer, Melanie and The General Electryk, and Sara Murphy and play these shows. Previous Rock for Charity shows have also been the stage for up and coming talent like Tracey Lalonde and Keegan Larose. It's amazing how much talent we have in the Cornwall area, and how many artists will volunteer to play for a worthy cause”, says Setnyk.
Admission Friday March 9th at La Maison is a $5 donation, doors are at 9pm, and the show is 19+. All money collected is going to the Children's Aid Society of SDG.
