Rock by the Sea, Inc is dedicated to organizing music festivals and events where we raise money to assist deserving charities who provide direct services to those in need. Every Rock by the Sea event is an intimate showcase of music designed to bring people together for the love of music and the common goal of helping these charities. As we begin our 19th year of existence, we have donated over $1,000,000 to various charities.
In May it's OKALOOSA ISLAND at Al's Beach Club and Burger Bar! Our brand new “home” is ON THE BEACH! We can't wait for our first year at Al's!
Rock by the Sea has definitely evolved from an idea that a few music fans could produce a great music event and inspire each other to raise money for meaningful causes. Inspired by Sister Hazel's Lyrics for Life and The Rock Boat and to quote Ken Block, Sister Hazel's lead man, "The ripple effect" of our actions are in full force." Since the first event in 2007 we have raised funds at multi-night Music Events, Golf Tournaments and other competitive games, producing CDs, Road Shows, Silent Auctions and Raffles.
Those activities helped us raise money that we in turn donated to various charities such as UF Brain Tumor Immunotherapy Program, Hop on a Cure, Arnold Palmer’s Children’s Hospital, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, Now I Play Along Too, Franklin County Library - Children's Reading Program, Camp Sunshine, Lyrics For Life, Colorado Children"s Hospital, Fighting Demons, Franklin County (FL) Humane Society, Anchorage Children's Home (Panama City), Down Syndrome Association of Tallahassee, Refuge House (Tallahassee) Feed the Children, Unity Outreach (Breast Cancer), Alzheimer's Association, Independence Landing, Toys for Tots, as well as many other charities.
Rock by the Sea, led completely by volunteers, has no employees. It is a community of volunteers, musicians, charities and fans of music who travel from all over the country to attend these events. All donating their time, talents and dollars in pursuit of making a difference while having a GREAT time. Over 38 states have been represented. Each event is about more than just the charity. It's about discovering your new new music and hanging out with them. We bring a lot of talent you don't get to hear on the radio—but should. It's about talking to people or their parents who have benefited from our efforts. It's about making new friends and bringing your old ones into a community of some pretty fantastic people. Everyone is happy to be at a Rock by the Sea event, happy to be a significant part of it and very happy to share it.
Each event is about more than just the music, it is about charity. #ITSMORETHANMUSIC. It is an intimate showcase of music you may or may not have ever heard, it is about discovering your new favorite band and hanging out with them. It is about talking to people or their parents who have benefited from our efforts. It is about making new friends and bringing your old ones into a community of some pretty fantastic people and talent you don't get to hear on the radio anymore and when you, you tend to shriek out loud in a store or where you are. It does the souls some good. We had our first event in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware this December. It won't be our last!
