Get ready to Rock ‘N’ Support gulf island hospitality workers with a special, one night only benefit concert featuring Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, with special guest Marcus King, held at the Bradenton Area Convention Center, Friday, November 15.
Hosted by The Center on Anna Maria Island and supported by the Manatee County Tourist Development Council (TDC), 100% of the proceeds from the Rock ‘N’ Support benefit concert will support gulf island hospitality workers who have been displaced due to the recent impacts of Hurricane Helene and Milton.
All proceeds from the event will benefit two local non-profit organizations, Shuckin’ Good Cause and The Center of Anna Maria Island’s Hurricane Relief Fund. Displaced hospitality workers will then be able to apply for grant assistance.
“We are excited to support this important initiative through our Tourist Development Council, featuring one of Florida’s most legendary Hall of Fame rock bands. This concert will help raise funds for our barrier island hospitality employees—dedicated individuals who have consistently provided first-class service to our residents and visitors,” said Manatee County Commissioner, Mike Rahn.
