Toronto Is Ready To Rock For Humanity
Rock For Humanity, a registered non-profit organization will be hosting an evening concert at Sneaky Dee’s on July 10th, 2008 as part of their annual concert tour in support Street Health Toronto.
Featuring, “Dead City Citizens” (Kitchener), “Fifty Stars Anger” (Montreal), “Stop Drop n Skank” (Toronto), and “P.D.H” (Guelph), 100% of the proceeds goes directly to providing street level medical assistance to the homeless community of Toronto.
In Toronto, over 30,000 people check into homeless shelters at least once every year. 5000 of those people being children, and this figure is growing exponentially. People on the street are dying at an astonishing rate of between 2 and 4 every week and their average age is only a mere 46 years old. Even If someone is “lucky” enough to find a bed in one of the few shelters in Toronto that person faces mass overcrowding, tuberculosis, lice and a significantly increased threat of violence
Rock For Humanity is determined to bring homelessness to its knees through their music based events. Born out of a love of music and a passion for change, Rock For Humanity was created 5 years ago as a way for two 18 year old kids (at the time) to bring awareness to a growing national disaster.
“We love what we do and we love who we do it for,” says Jordan Howard, Co-founder of RFH. “We refuse to be known as the passive generation and it’s amazing to see the amount of people that truly care in this city. A few years ago I was in doubt, but now I see that there is actually a lot of hope”.
Rock For Humanity has grown from back room a bar endeavor to taking centre stage at some of Toronto’s most elite and famous concert venues. They have held concerts in every major city from Windsor to Ottawa and have raised thousands of dollars in support of their cause.
On July 10th Rock For Humanity will take centre stage yet again for its biggest and best concert to date. Tickets are available at the door for $5.00 and the event is 19 plus.
