Third Annual Rock for Dimes London

Members of London’s corporate community play “Rock Star” to raise money for a great cause.

On March 26th, London’s top business executives will be trading in their suits and ties for ripped jeans and guitars at the third annual Rock for Dimes event.  Rock for Dimes, a corporate Battle of the Bands, raises funds for March of Dimes Canada.  Three bands comprised of London business professionals will shake The Dawghouse to raise an estimated $10,000 for children with physical disabilities.

The bands will compete for bragging rights as London’s best corporate band, at the same time showcasing their talents to guest judges.  Fabrizio Dona, Chief Murray Faulkner, Chief of the London Police, and Scene Magazine publisher Bret Downe have been tapped as judges, while A Channel News Dan MacLellan will be pulling double duty as both judge and the evening’s host.

DUTY CALLS, The Boftones and The Remotes will do battle at the March 26th competition.

All proceeds benefit March of Dimes Canada’s programs for children and adults with disabilities.

“We couldn’t be more excited about once again staging Rock for Dimes in London,” says Mary Lynne Stewart, Director of Fund Development and Communications for March of Dimes Canada.  “The London community is so supportive, and I am confident that this event will allow us to offer our programs to even more people.”

Rock for Dimes London is sponsored by the London Police, Bluestone Properties, The Dawghouse, Pizza Hut, House of Miracles and the A Channel.

Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday March 26th at The Dawghouse located at 699 Wilkins Street.  The event is open to the public. Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased at www.rockfordimes.ca or are available at the door.  For more information or to order please call 416-425-3463 ext. 7380.
