Rock-a-thon

The Rock-a-Thon is our biggest, most important, and absolutely most fun (!) fundraiser of the year.
The 2020 RAT will be held this year at St. Luke's Parish Hall on Saturday Feb 8 from 9 AM to 9 PM.
Note location change!!  

NEW TO THE ROCK-A-THON?

For those of you that haven’t done the Rock-A-Thon before, the premise is simple:  we rock in rocking chairs for 12 hours, with 5 minute breaks every hour.  Between breaks we rock, play games, get to know each other, watch movies, eat, and participate in sessions designed to help us learn more about the ASP trip and the people we will serve.  Many, many sponsors will support this major fundraiser and make it possible for our team to go to Appalachia.   ​

Last year we had a record-breaking event and raised over $40,000.  This year, with your help, we can raise even more.   

​Also, when you participate, you receive 1 hour credit for fundraising per 2 hours rocked, so you can get a maximum of 6 hours credit, or half your "hours" target!  
​

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

To meet our budget, we need to raise over $117,000.  One-third of our budget depends on a successful RAT.  You should participate, even if you can't be there the whole time.  You can also use this time to do an appeal letter to friends and family to support your ASP trip.
