Rockin 4A Cause was founded by 4 couples who had each lost someone very close to them to three different diseases, including most recently Dyan Elovich Blumberg to ovarian cancer. Together, they found a reason to rock and raise funds with their favorite music with all of their favorite people for 3 important causes. This year’s event hosted a Bruce Springsteen cover band and a huge silent auction raising over $3,000 for the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance. We look forward to working with them in the future to continue raising funds and awareness for ovarian cancer in their community.
