Rock The River is meant to honor supporters at the \u201coriginal rock palace\u201d and benefit Sunrise Day Camp-Pearl River. The honorable awards will be presented to owner Peter Shapiro<\/a>, General Manager Bruce Wheeler, and Head of Special Events, Emily Schmalholz. The awards in question are known as the Sunrise Community Partner Award and the Sunrise Champion Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money raised from this benefit will support the vital work Sunrise Day Camp\u2013Pearl River does for the community. Sunrise Day Camp brings the simple pleasures of childhood back to children struggling with cancer, changing months of loneliness and isolation into summers filled with sunshine, laughter and happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Capitol Theatre welcomes a performance by the legendary Steve Augeri, the former lead vocalist for Journey<\/a>. In years prior, artists like Wyclef Jean, Melissa Etheridge, Max Weinberg and many more music icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 11th annual Rock The River sponsored by Sunrise Association sees a wonderful evening of uplifting music by Steve Augeri. Along with this, the wonderful fundraising for ill children in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an evening of togetherness, music, and benefits for those in need. It showcases both the power of fundraising and the unity that music brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are honored & grateful to be the host venue of Rock The River for 10 years! Live music provides an impressive and organic sense of connection, this event is a natural fit. Over the years, we have formed an amazing partnership with Sunrise which has grown Rock The River year after year, working together to raise money for this incredibly important cause. I play just a small part in the success of this event and will continue to do my best to champion the cause in every way possible. I have no doubt that this partnership between The Capitol Theatre and Sunrise Day Camp will continue to grow so that we can continue to raise as much money as possible to send hundreds more children with cancer & their siblings to this incredible camp.\u201d<\/p>\nEmily Schmalholz, Sunrise Champion Award Nominee<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
