Our Story
Rock4Reason started eight years ago
as a small campaign to help the
Kent State Relay for Life team raise money for the
American Cancer Society and Hospice of the Valley.
As our events grew, we saw a greater need
to assist our local, Mahoning Valley families
who are not only battling with their illness,
but need assistance with everyday necessities
such as groceries, bills, gas and transportation.
All of our events are centered around music
as part of the therapeutic process.
Rock4Reason was established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization on July 10, 2016. And the story continues...

100% Volunteer
All officers, board members, volunteers, family, friends &
anyone affiliated with Rock4Reason take absolutely
ZERO dollars from donations (we all have day jobs).
No matter the role, we are 100% volunteer
and our volunteers rock!
Every dollar raised goes directly
to families in the Mahoning Valley.
Location, Location, Local.
We support everything local. Not only does every dollar raised stay in The Valley, but we also support and get support from individuals, local businesses, and organizations in Trumbull & Mahoning County. We love this place and we couldn't do it without all the help. Everyone has the power to make a difference in the life of someone else. Thank you all for your amazing kindness and compassion!
