The Rainbow Foundation in association with MelodicRock.com announces a special benefit concert for the Station Family Fund (Rhode Island). This fundraising event is scheduled to take place in the early spring of 2004, possibly April in the Chicagoland area. Musicians and bands of all kinds will unite for performances to communicate one message: Rock 2 the Rescue. Proceeds of the benefit concert will be donated to the Station Family Fund. As we have all seen since the events of September 11th, this country unites for its causes; and, the Station Family Fund is definitely a worthy one. The fundraising efforts will benefit the survivors, the spouses and/or children of the victims of The Station fire in Rhode Island; and, hopefully, call attention to the full-array of immediate needs not being met by government funds. For additional information on the Station Family Fund: Contact: Todd King, Vice President; Station Family Fund; Call: (878) 808-5340, (508) 877-1757; P.O. Box 214, Warwick, RI 02886.
