ROCK.ROFL.RAISE. : Get Drunk For The Children

Everyone had a blast the last time around so we're doing it again. A charity rock concert/drunken shananigans for who else? Kids. No... For realsies. We're getting drunk for the children... Dave Thomas Foundation For Adoption and Foster Children to be exact. Last time we raised over a thousand dollars. This time around we're going a bit more low key but fun will still be had... Bring your glowstix and dancing shoes also make sure that your pimp hand's strong because Leah is still taking slaps to the face for cash. No cover this time around. Donate what you can. A dollar, five bucks is perfect, ten dollars is wonderful... Lets do this. HOSTED BY:Leah Evens Featuring: Wild Lincoln and the Shotgun Conscious, Beechers Fault, and DJ Ether. -POST GRAD PRODUCTIONS -AM&A

Project Passion : A benefit for local music programs in Astoria.

PROJECT PASSION: INSTRUMENT & ART GIVEAWAY TO BENEFIT LOCAL MUSIC PROGRAMS IN ASTORIA

Three non-profit organizations “Emerging Artists Connect,” “Boundless Quest,” and “Astoria Music & Arts” will join forces to raise awareness about the importance of music as part of each child’s complete education by hosting a FREE benefit concert on the main lawn in Astoria Park. Attendees will be encouraged to donate their old instruments to a well deserving non-profit music school named “Art House Astoria” that offers music classes at a low rate for families and people of all ages. This marks the first annual benefit of “Project Passion”. There will be performances by many local NYC bands such as: Abe And The Beards, The Koyas, Bliminal, LTrain, ThunderBang, , & A Docile Tariq. There will also be fun relay races for children to play on the main lawn during performances to win custom guitars designed by local NYC artists that are part of the Emerging Artists Connect Coalition.

The three aforementioned non-profits have selected “Art House Astoria” to be the beneficiary of all donated instruments and art materials. Art House Astoria Conservatory for Music and Art is a non-profit corporation founded in 2009 with a mission to provide quality arts programs for the Astoria community at an affordable price.
