Staten island New York City
Rock For A Difference will be hosting a fundraiser on Saturday,
Club Locale in Staten Island, located at 1221
Bay Street. There will be live musical performances, and an
auction/raffle consisting of 2 Round Trip Airline Tickets donated by
Spirit Air and an autographed Epiphone Les Paul Studio, Heritage
Cherry Sunburst with Hardshell Case, in addition to other music and
sports related items.
All proceeds from this benefit go directly to POAC (Parent’s of
Autistic Children) of Brick, New Jersey. POAC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit
and has a proven track record of providing services to children and
adults with autism, their families, and the professionals who serve
them. POAC has provided training, services, outreach and support for
thousands of people throughout New Jersey and across the country. The
vast majority of these services are provided 100% free of charge.
POAC has focused its attention and resources on how best to help the
children and families who are struggling with autism today.
Donating their time and talents to this great cause are The Spines,
with The Infinite Staircase and Craving Strange.
The Spines are an Alternative Rock band out of Long Island New York
with a reputation for catchy hooks, tasteful songwriting, solid
musicianship and powerful live performances. The bands debut album
Radiolarian has something for everyone from catchy, harmony laden
songs to darker, heavier and more progressive material. Their album
was released last February on Strawhouse Records/Sony Red, and is
gaining national and international attention.

Craving Strange is also from Long Island and consists of 4 musicians,
combining personal and musical backgrounds in metal, pop, rock, indie,

intense and emotional, transcending age groups and musical tastes. The
songs are filled with instant hooks, catchy choruses, and driving
rhythms, without sacrificing heart or resorting to tired clichés.

throughout the east coast, earning the band a reputation as a must see
attraction. http://www.myspace.com/cravingstrangemusic
Our mission at Rock For A Difference is to improve the lives of
families living with autism by providing financial support to the
leading education provider for the Autism Community, POAC. We will
provide this support through a collaboration with Musicians,
Performers and Celebrities and by holding special Concert, Theatrical
and Sports Related Fundraiser Events throughout the the year.
Additional support will be solicited from partnerships with major
sponsors and corporations.
We will achieve this mission, one gig at a time.
ROCK ON! |
