About me: Rock For Kids is a non-profit organization that provides support, inspiration and assistance to children that are homeless or in need. Committed to the dignity of our children, Rock For Kids works with families and organizations to positively impact and celebrate young lives.
Our Programs:
Youth Jam brings professional music education to homeless and underprivileged children by providing free music lessons in a safe and constructive environment. Youth Jam provides opportunities for children to improve their self-esteem and gain confidence while having fun and expressing themselves through music.
During the holidays, Rock For Kids' Holiday Shopping program provides gifts and necessities according to the specific wishes of the children and subsidizes battered women’s shelters to shop for their own children.
Upcoming Events:
Also, visit our booth this year at Pitchfork Music Festival July-18-19-20, 2008 at Union Park, Chicago, IL. We will be auctioning off autographed memorabilia by Pitchfork bands and more. Be sure to stop by and say hello!
