 Rock Relief (dance for justice or social justice festival)
Project Created: Monday, December 14, 2009
Project Leader: Nichol B
Location: Laramie, United States of America
Project Goal: This is actually with the Laramie High Peacejam club but isn't showing up. This is an annual event where we find local high school, college, and community bands and hip hop groups perform with educational awareness booths, diverse music, and guest speakers between acts. All proceeds go to a cause voted upon by the club and have included in previous years---Life Straw, Safe Project, Schools for Schools, Interfaith Good Samaritan, and Habitat for Humanity in Laramie and in New Orleans. This year will be our 7th annual Rock Relief.
Project Cause: various, but most songs by bands and guest speakers seek to end racism and hate.
Project Plan: This year, we plan to also do a bigger social justice festival. See upcoming GAP.

 This sounds so cool! I love hearing about different ways that clubs can raise donations. Is there a set date that this will be on yet? |
