There will be performances from The Schoolboys and UNC-Wilmington senior, Lake Gibson. The auction will contain sports memorabilia, concert tickets, jewelry and other items. Aside from the auction, a raffle will also be held, with prizes such as an iPad mini 3, more concert tickets, gift cards and more. Thanks to the contributions provided by the sponsors and donors, Rock for a Cure is able to provide great prizes that have raised over $33,000 since its inception.Screen Shot 2015-10-16 at 11.03.43 AM

Rock for a Cure is successful by appealing to not only college students, but also the Wilmington community. The event is only $5 to attend, which makes it one of the most affordable philanthropic events in the area. This allows community members to contribute more towards the auction and raffle, which is a prime generator of the funds. However, the low entrance cost makes the event appealing for students because they can be a part of the event and help the cause.

The fun kicks off a 6 p.m. tonight. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to give back and have a great time. If you can’t make it, what other ways are you giving back to your community?

Rock for the Cure

October 20, 2011


UNCW Communication Studies Society is rocking out this Friday evening for a great cause. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and to make our mark in fighting for the cause, UNCW students and faculty invite everyone to participate in Rock for the Cure Friday, October 21st, 2011 on the second floor of Reel Café, downtown Wilmington N.C. at 7:00pm. The admission to this event is $5 and all proceeds will go to New Hanover Regional Medical Center’s Pink Ribbon Project. The profits will help fund uninsured women in the greater Wilmington area to receive free mammogram screening and also provide “comfort bags” with items that include a pink fleece blanket to be used to warm patients as they receive treatments, a satin pillowcase for comfort after hair loss and an herbal eye pillow to help with relaxation during this time. Rock for the Cure will also raise money through a silent auction and raffle. With the help from you and others we can make a difference for the incredible success of the Pink Ribbon Project and help provide early diagnosis and comfort to women in our area.
