For those unfamiliar with this annual event, the Rock 4 X-MAS Foundation organizes events to benefit the less fortunate during the winter holidays. Over the past eight years, the Rock 4 X-MAS Foundation has raised money and provided entertainment for families in need throughout the United States of America. Many Rock and Roll music legends have joined and teamed up with the foundation over the years, putting on some very memorable concert performances for audiences in select US cities. Jason Frost, a member of the Rock 4 X-MAS Foundation planning team and also known for his associations with the Seattle grunge movement of the early nineties which included bands such as Nirvana, Marcy Playground and others, says 'We are going to help many families again this holiday season. We provide top quality entertainment for our audiences wherever we go, and it is inexpensive. Many of the performers on the line up are from the bands we idolized as teens.'
This year, members from Anthrax, Quiet Riot, Great White, W.A.S.P., Metal Church, Orleans, Shadows of Knight, Yngwie Malmsteen, Zebra, Frehley's Comet and Mountain to name just a few will join a variety of local bands on stage. The all day and night 14+ hour music marathon event begins at 1pm in the afternoon on Saturday, December 4 and is scheduled to run well beyond the midnight hour, finishing up somewhere around 3am. The concert will provide rock music fans with an impressive combination of celebrity musical performances. Joey Belladonna, Richie Scarlet, Randy Jackson, Paul Shortino, Stet Howland, Doug Blair, Tony Montana, Jimmy Bell, Michael Vescera, Larry Hoppen, Jimy Sohns, TM Stevens and other classic rock star celebrities are expected to attend this one day fundraiser extravaganza.

The Rock 4 X-MAS Foundation Inc., a non-profit 509(a)2 Federal Charity, exists to help those in need, while also providing rock 'n' roll fans with a unique and unforgettable musical experience. For those who cannot attend the show, the Rock for Christmas Foundation also accepts contributions (even as small as one dollar) and donations of much needed frequent flyer miles, at their web site online. Efforts require transport of crew and performers between locations throughout America. In addition, select high profile sponsorships for the upcoming 2004 events are available. The organization carries out its mission in part through donations from private and corporate sponsors, philanthropists and musicians. They are always looking for additional assistance, partnerships, corporate sponsors, as well as new venues. Contributions are accepted and appreciated in any amount at their web site, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Even a small donation of $1.00 helps out a great deal. If every person who reads this gave $1.00 or more, together it would be providing a great service to families in need this holiday season.
