Rock and Roll is Good for Kids Presents Shad

We're your friends and we're tying to do something wonderful and important in 'no fun city' and we need your help!

Rock and Roll is Good for Kids (RRGK) is a non-profit group committed to improving the lives of children in East Vancouver by raising funds and supplies for safe and fun after-school environments with an emphasis on the arts.

(doors at 8.00 PM)

The goal of this year’s concert is to provide funding and supplies to support an already existing community program in east van, 'Camp Grace'. It's one of four camps under the Urban Promise umbrella (one of which is facing closure due to lack of funding). The kids are picked up from schools (including Queen Victoria, Grandview Elementary, and Lord Nelson) and given leadership, healthy food, indoor/outdoor activities, and tutoring. The children that attend are extremely diverse; many are First Nations and some with special needs.

A primary goal of RRGK is to supply music and art supplies to this camp as these kids, more than anyone, need these vital positive outlets.

As a community we can create societal awareness of the importance of art and music in the lives of children and the social responsibility we all share of providing the necessary means to enrich them!

We all know that the government's lack of funding towards childcare/arts/music is a joke and hopefully we can draw more media attention to this aweful [sic] neglect.
