The rock group Heart, along with Sammy Hagar, will headline 2010 WALK 'N ROCK FOR KIDS, a benefit concert on Sunday, May 30 at Sacramento's Raley Field.
“We are thrilled to announce our WALK ‘N ROCK artists for 2010 and our expansion from benefiting seven nonprofits to 17,” said Hope Productions Foundation Chairman of the Board Garry Maisel, CEO of Western Health Advantage.
Training, awareness and proceeds from the 2010 WALK ‘N ROCK FOR KIDS event will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Sacramento, Cristo Rey High School of Sacramento, Keaton Raphael Memorial, Okizu, People Reaching Out, River Cats Foundation and Wind Youth Services.
In 2010, the morning walk has been expanded to benefit an additional 10 children’s charities: Access Leisure-Independence Field, Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento, Boy Scouts of Greater Sacramento, CASA Sacramento, CCHAT Center, Full Circle Treatment Center, Roberts Family Development Center, Sacramento ENRICHES, Sacramento Linkage to Education and Sierra Forever Families-Wonder Program.
This event was launched last year with great success. The inaugural 2009 WALK ‘N ROCK generated more than $600,000 in contributions and in-kind services and nonprofit trainings.
Maisel said the hope to generate 20 percent more revenue for the nonprofits that last year.
Walkers can raise money on behalf of any of the 17 nonprofits, or have their walk team revenue benefit the seven Nonprofit Partners by starting a team for WALK ‘N ROCK FOR KIDS by going to www.walknrock.org.
Tickets go on sale through www.Ticketmaster.com Saturday, January 16th and start at $40.
