Proceeds from the evening will benefit Communities In Schools (CIS), the largest dropout prevention organization in the United States and The Story Project, a local inner city literacy program that teaches through film, poetry, and music.
Kicking off at 7:00 pm at Hotel Cafe, live performances will feature some of LA’s rising stars including Kina Grannis, Angel Taylor, Joey Ryan, Max Lugavere, Holly Conlan, The Elevaters, Chris Pierce, Raining Jane, Philip & Bruno, “L” Debois, Andy Grammer, Katie Costello, Stop Motion, Davey G.

The artists participating in ROCKDRIVE are notable philanthropists who are participating in the benefit concert for free– donating both time and talent to contribute to charitable causes in their city. ROCKDRIVE is a multi-artist, multimedia benefit concert dedicated to raising funds, goods, and awareness for the needs and issues affecting the under-privileged. The artists are looking forward to connecting with their fans and encouraging them to make an immediate change in their city, where resources and relief can be just as important as impoverished communities which are continents away, reminding us all to “Give Where You Live!”

More on the Charities
COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS (CIS) – the leading community-based organization helping kids succeed in school and prepare for life. For more than 30 years, CIS has championed the connection of needed community resources with schools. Communities In Schools is the nation’s largest dropout prevention organization, working in nearly 3,300 K-12 public schools. Today, more than 1.3 million young people annually receive direct services through almost 200 Communities In Schools local affiliates in 26 states and the District of Columbia. Between 80-90 percent of Communities In Schools’ tracked students show improvement in academic achievement, attendance, behavior and promotion to the next grade level.
THE STORY PROJECT – reaches thousands of kids with an entertainment-arts curriculum made possible by media professionals working in today’s film, television, and music industries to stop the declining literacy rate. Each class occurs in an after-school setting where working writers, actors, musicians, directors and production professionals volunteer their time to our students. Through discussions and activities based in screenwriting, filmmaking, poetry, photography, and an assortment of media and art related fields, the mentors reveal personal stories while inspiring the kids to share their own.
