Rob Machado Foundation Announces its First Ever Benefit Concert on November 12
Press Release • October 16, 2012 • Surfwire
The Rob Machado Foundation, founded by surfing legend Rob Machado, has
announced that it will hold its first-ever benefit concert on November
12th, 2012, at The Belly-Up in Solana Beach, California. This very
special night will feature solo acoustic sets from Goo Goo Dolls
frontman John Rzeznik and Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman, as well as a
set from Jon Swift joined by Machado.
"I'm really excited to have some amazing musicians play at one of the
best venues in San Diego in support of my foundation," Machado says.
"I'm happy to create the opportunity to have the local community come
out and support hometown musicians and charity. It's going to be a fun
night."
All proceeds from ticket sales will go to benefit The Rob Machado
Foundation, a non-profit that Machado founded in 2004 as a way to
support environmental programs worldwide. The foundation's primary
mission is to provide funding and initiate educational programs focused
on helping children understand their contribution towards a healthy
earth. Two specific programs benefiting from the evening are the local
community-recycling program and Hydration Nation, a collaboration
between RMF and Hurley's H20 charity giving program. This initiative
aims to install drinking foundations at high schools nationwide in the
attempt to foster refillable water bottles and help eliminate single
bottle usage.
Tickets are $40, or $60 for reserved seating, and are on sale at
www.bellyup.com and at the venue's box office: (858) 481-8140. A limited
number of VIP tickets, priced at $150, are also available at
tixx1.artistarena.com/robmachadofoundation. Those who purchase a VIP
ticket will also gain access to a meet-and-greet with the performers
including Machado and receive a limited-edition special event poster
signed by all.
