Rock Out for a Cause: A Summer Concert Series Benefiting Families Impacted by Cancer
This August, the stage is set—not just for unforgettable music, but for something far more meaningful.
The CarsonStrong Foundation invites you to Rock Out for a Cause, a five-concert series at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls. Over five incredible nights, legendary rock bands will perform in support of children and families navigating the challenges of cancer and other serious life circumstances.
It’s more than a concert—it’s an opportunity to come together, celebrate community, and help provide essential support where it’s needed most.
Where Music Meets Impact
Since its founding in 2017, the CarsonStrong Foundation has worked to improve the lives of families impacted by cancer. Inspired by Carson’s strength, humor, and compassion, the foundation funds meaningful programs that provide emotional connection, therapeutic support, educational resources, and much-needed time together outside of treatment.
Proceeds from Rock Out for a Cause help support The Gift of Time Together program, which gives families the chance to stay connected during treatment and recovery, when time together matters most.
Every ticket sold helps remove barriers and bring comfort, relief, and connection to families going through unimaginably hard times.
