One Year Anniversary of Rock for Charity is on Friday March 11th at Cafe Connectionz
A year ago Jason Setnyk hosted and organized the first Rock for Charity in Cornwall Ontario. “I want to help charities and non profit groups that make our community a better place by raising money for these organizations”, explains Setnyk. Rock for Charity became a monthly event, and became more and more successful.
A year later Rock for Charity has proven to be a financial success, raising approximately $5000 for various charities and non profit groups in Cornwall and SD&G. “We've raised money for organizations like The Agape, Tri County Literacy Council, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the OSPCA, and The Canadian Cancer Society”. So far twelve different charities and non profit groups have benefited from Jason Setnyk's fundraisers.
Each month musicians, bands, and artists volunteer to perform and play. “We've had well established musicians like Graham Greer, Sara Murphy, and Rodney Rivette play these shows. But Rock for Charity has also been the stage for up and coming talent like Tracey Lalonde, Keegan Larose, and Jeremy Rae Blair. It's amazing how much talent we have in the Cornwall area, and how many artists will volunteer to play for a worthy cause”.
Rock for Charity which combines philanthropy with local arts will celebrate it's one year anniversary on Friday March 11th at Cafe Connectionz located at 407 Montreal Road. Most of the Rock for Charity events have been hosted at this local coffee house venue. This March will be the last Rock for Charity hosted at Cafe Connectionz. In April Rock for Charity is moving to a new venue.
There is a stellar line up of music for the one year anniversary show. Rock for Charity on Friday March 11th will feature Kings bishop, Jason Setnyk, Rodney Rivette, Chad Colemam, Craig Loney, Keegan Larose, Broadened Horizons, and Matthew Bell. It's a benefit for the Children's Aid Society of SDG. The event is All Ages, music starts at 6:30pm, and there is a minimum donation of five dollars at the door.
