Do you love music? Art? Are you a bike nut? What if you could combat the global HIV/AIDS crisis, save lives on the other side of the world, and attend a rock concert at the same time? Sound appealing?
The St. Andrews Rock ‘n’ Ride Music Festival, Volume II, is for you!
On June 4th, 2011, bands from around the Maritimes are taking the stage in St. Andrews, NB, for a second time to fundraise for Dignitas International HIV/AIDS clinics in Malawi.
Rock ‘n’ Ride, which takes place in St. Andrews’ Town Square from 12PM to 8PM, incorporates eight straight hours of music, an art show and silent auction at Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre, a CD release party, food and culinary arts, fitness, global education, and fundraising, all into one event.
During the eight hours of music, teams of up to ten riders on stationary bikes keep their pedals in perpetual motion in exchange for pledges. Last year’s incarnation of the Rock ‘n’ Ride raised almost $12 000, and our goal this year is to raise $20 000, with your help!
Gather your team, come up with an awesome name, and register online!
You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter (@SJDARocknRide), and MySpace.
