5th Annual Rockin’ 4 Heroes Concert
Mark your calendars! We’re excited to announce that Lexington Lab Band will be returning to headline this year’s concert, bringing their classic rock tunes to Southern Arizona. Stay tuned for upcoming event details as we plan our very special 5th anniversary concert.
You Made An Impact!
Last year’s concert was another resounding success as 2500 attendees enjoyed food and drink; danced, sang, and cheered our Heroes. We welcomed and thanked every branch of the military and many local law enforcement and fire districts. Thanks to your support and that of our generous sponsors, this event remains FREE to the public. In addition, you help us support our heroes long after the music ends with new Rockin’ 4 Heroes Endowment Scholarships at Pima Community College and University of Arizona.
