Rockin' Kids First Benefit Concert and Auction

08/10/2021

I see this page getting new views currently. Due to the untimely death of Sharon Sanders, the Founder of KF, the uncertainty of the pandemic and the uncertainty of the future leadership of Kids First of the Carolinas this event is indefinitely suspended.

We have been getting new followers lately, The page is inactive. First Due to The Pandemic we were forced to skip 2020 show, and then we lost the leader and founder of Kids First of the Carolinas to Cancer. I am sure we will go on with some type of event and show for a locally supported charity but at this time it is uncertain what the future of Rockin' Kids First is. We will reach out at the proper time to see if Kids First will continue under new leadership. There were a lot of great people responsible for this every year, but the energy and passion of Sharon Sanders will be very hard to match.

It is with a very heavy heart that we have to announce that the founder of Kids First, Sharon Sanders, lost her very private fight with cancer on Thursday, January 14th. Sharon spent the past 28 years pouring her life’s work into charity for families in need. We are so glad to have been able to be a very tiny part of that over the past ten years. Sharon had a way of forcing people lovingly into helping others. The world is missing a bright light now. Please keep her husband and children in your thoughts and prayers. Also pray for the families she would have been there to help because that’s what she would want you to do.

Please remember to give to needy children and families in our area this year even though we can’t be together this year. Reach out to churches and schools, they usually know of plenty of families in need.

We were very concerned that even if we were able to safely have our benefit show, we wouldn’t have the items to auction that we normally have due to the lack of a concert season. Now Kids First has suspended its operations for the year so that seals it for us too. No Rockin Kids First this year.

For over 30 years, Kids First of the Carolinas has provided basic essentials and Christmas gifts to over 35,000 children and families in need in the greater Charlotte area. Make a child smile this holiday season by donating new toys, bikes and clothes.

We will update everyone on the amount raised after this weekend. Some of our major Silent Auction items are on the WBT Bidding Owl web site and up for Bids so the final determination has not been made what the grand total is.

All bands after 5 pm moved forward a little 5-15 minutes early. You Will want to get there early anyway because the auction, raffle, and flea market are off the chain this year! Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time. Also the Bland St. Light rail station is right behind the venue, there is a parking garage across the street that charges five dollars. Everything else is either on the street are way more expensive.
