Pharos Parenting will host its third annual Rockin’ for a Reason charity concert at Chickadee Hill Farms on Friday, June 9, from 6 to 9 p.m. with the crowd-pleasing band, the Catalinas.
This ticketed event will feature two food trucks, beer and wine sales, s’mores, raffle prizes, dancing, and more. Advance tickets are $25 and can be purchased on the website, www.pharosparenting.org through June 8 and at the gate on June 9 for $30 with cash or credit card.
Last year’s concert was a success with over 350 people in attendance and raised over $20,000 to support child abuse prevention programs in Iredell County through Pharos Parenting. With the support of the community and generous sponsors, Pharos hopes to raise over $25,000 this year.
Two local food trucks, The Truk and Wingz on Wheelz, will provide delicious fare for concertgoers. There will be a s’mores area sponsored by the Exchange Club of Mooresville/Lake Norman. Great prizes will be raffled off, including two rocking chairs from Troutman Chair Company, a weed eater from RC Lawn Mowers, a mountain cabin stay, and a cooler filled with a variety of spirits!
Special packages are also available to purchase in advance. The “Date Night” package will provide two tickets and four drink tokens for $60 (a $10 discount). The “VIP package” is $100 and includes a ticket for entry, two drink tokens, two raffle tickets, a $15 food truck voucher, a special seating area near the band with a dedicated bartender, and rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs provided. There are a limited number of seats available in the VIP section.
The Catalinas will have the crowd dancing and singing along to our favorite summer tunes. According to their website, “The Catalinas began in 1957 in Myers Park High School in Charlotte, N.C., and celebrated their 65th Anniversary in 2022! Known for their quality, tight sound, and energy onstage, they play a variety of music that suits all ages.”
