This show is a fundraiser to support Garrett, a Friendship Band member, who was paralyzed in a skiing accident in January. Proceeds will help with his ongoing care and needs.

Five other bands—Southern Rain, The Vicky and Brian Show, The David O Band, Rednave, and Madison Curbelo—will be playing throughout the day. There will also be food trucks, raffles, and lawn games.

The Friendship Band is Whole Children and Milestone’s resident rock group. The band is made up of Whole Children and Milestones participants and teachers. They play popular classic hit songs, and create new, original ones too.
