ROCK BY THE SEA 2026

Rock by the Sea is a 501c3 raising money for various children's charities, but pediatric cancer research, cancer research, ALS via Hop on a Cure, UF Health, and Lyrics for Life, as well as others.  PROCEEDS FROM THIS SILENT AUCTION WILL GO TO:   HOP ON A CURE (hoponacure.org)

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 turn 20 years old, we have donated over $1,000,000 to various charities.  RBTS  was inspired by Sister Hazel's Lyrics for Life and The Rock Boat, we celebrate that inspiration.  While the event lends support to many different causes, the last few years proceeds from the Silent Auction are sent to HOP ON A CURE (ALS)a cause created by John Driskell Hopkins of the Zac Brown Band who was diagnosed with this horrible disease.

Rock by the Sea is led completely by volunteers: no employees. It is a community, a family...of volunteers, musicians, charities and fans of music who travel from all over the country (and from other countries) to attend these events. 
IT'S MORE THAN MUSIC!
Each event is about more than the music, it is about charity, it is about making the world a little better. It is about healing sick children's bodies and souls through our efforts.
It is about the community.
It is about discovering new music and hanging out with artists.  
It is about making new friends and bringing your old ones into a community of some pretty fantastic people and fueling your soul.
