🎸❤️ ROCK FOR A CURE — YOU ROCKED FOR A REASON! ❤️🎸

We are absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the generosity of our Rock the Block fans this summer! Because of YOU, Rock for a Cure raised an incredible $7,905 and totes full of items for our local oncology center, the Foster J. Boyd, MD, Regional Cancer Center! 🎉🙌

Every T-shirt purchased, every donation made, and every person who stepped up to support this cause helped make this possible. Our fans didn't just show up for the music — you showed up for our community, our neighbors, our friends, and the families who are fighting cancer right here at home. ❤️

📸 Pictured are Tom Daskalakis, President & COO; Susan Valentine-Scott, Executive Director of the Clinton County Convention & Visitors Bureau; Melissa Hedrick, Executive Assistant of the Clinton County Convention & Visitors Bureau; Michael Shook, Oncology Service Line Director for Foster J. Boyd Cancer Center; and Bradley Boggus, Chief Financial Officer.

To every fan who rocked with us this summer and opened their heart to give back — THANK YOU! We are incredibly appreciative of the way this community continues to step up when it matters most.

🎶 We came for the music. We rocked for a cause. And together, we made a difference. 🤘❤️

A friend to Rock the Block Neil Zaza is amazingly talented. We have been lucky to have him be a part of Rock the Block 3 years now. You need to see his Halloween show. Follow him for more info. What a great person and musician!!

🤘 QUEENSRŸCHE 🤘SATURDAY JULY 24, 2027
For more than four decades, Queensrÿche has been a powerhouse in the world of progressive heavy metal. Known for their soaring vocals, incredible musicianship, and unforgettable songs like “Silent Lucidity,” “Jet City Woman,” “Eyes of a Stranger,” and “Queen of the Reich,” Queensrÿche has sold millions of albums worldwide and built a legendary career that continues to bring rock fans to their feet.

⚡ SLAUGHTER ⚡FRIDAY JULY 23, 2027
Get ready to turn it ALL the way up! Slaughter exploded onto the rock scene in 1990 with their multi-platinum debut album Stick It to Ya and quickly became one of the defining bands of the era. With massive hits including “Up All Night,” “Fly to the Angels,” “Spend My Life,” and “Real Love,” Slaughter brings the kind of high-energy rock show that was MADE for a huge crowd!

🎤 QUEENSRŸCHE. SLAUGHTER. TWO LEGENDARY ROCK BANDS. ONE INCREDIBLE 2027! 🎤

Also, opening up the festivities on Friday July 23 will be Charlie Bonnet III the new 2026 Battle of the Bands winner. Congratulations Charlie Bonnet III and the Gasholes.
