Students Rock Foundation is a charitable corporation based in the Northern California SF Bay Area. We provide scholarships based on financial need for students wishing to participate in performing arts enrichment programs not officially associated with a school district. Students Rock Foundation enables students to explore, learn, and achieve, in a variety of programs such as music, choral, theatre or dance and more.

Students Rock Foundation was founded by a group of parents whose families' lives were enriched by their participation in music, dance, theatre and other performing arts classes in the SF Bay Area. Since participation in these activities can be expensive and out of the reach of many families, we realized how important it would be to provide opportunities for those without the monetary means to enroll in performing arts enrichment classes. By bringing social and economic diversity to these programs, all participating students and families are enriched.







rock 'n roll | STUDENTS ROCK BENEFIT II

For our second Fundraiser, on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, at 8:00 p.m, at Berkeley's Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse, Students Rock Foundation has lined up an evening with exceptional local musicians and artists.

Join The Kevin Beadles Band and special guest Bonnie Hayes (on keyboards), The Jolly Gibsons, Andrea Hurley and her Very Attractive Band, plus Master of Ceremonies, comedian Jacob Rubin at a great venue for a great cause.

Music for the evening ranges from American to New Orleans funk and twangy blues, to rock 'n' pop...and more. (Note that The Kevin Beadles Band will donate a portion of his CD sales for the evening to our scholarship program.

Tickets are available for this all-ages concert via the Freight and Salvage Ticket Office, 2020 Addison Street, in downtown Berkeley.

Tickets are $20.50 in advance, and $22.50 the night of the show. (Students under 18 years of age receive a discount.)

Starting at 5:00 p.m., enjoy a special prix fixe dinner at Berkeley's newest restaurant, Divino -cucina italiana dinamica. Special seating will be reserved for you to assure a leisurely meal, arrival at the Freight and Salvage by 7:30 p.m., and great view of the performances. Divino is located at 1401 University Avenue, in Berkeley, California. (Watch for the Divino Grand Opening in February: call (510)841-5200 for reservations.)

Before the show, and during intermission, sample the delicious wares from the Blue Chair Fruit Company, the Bay Area's premier producer of jams and spreadables. (A portion of the Blue Chair sales will also be donated to the Students Rock Foundation.)
