MIDDLETOWN ROCKS IS WHERE ENERGY MEETS IMPACT!

This Showtime-at-the-Apollo-style benefit concert has been called the “night of the year” in Middletown. Our featured performers are working with a live band to bring you an electric night of singing, dancing, and giving. Middletown Rocks isn’t just about the big show. The performers are also fundraisers competeing in a peer-to-peer campaign to raise the most dollars for CBI.

On Thursday, May 14th- after the VIP event at The Windamere- the competition will come to a head at Sorg Opera House. To support your favorite performer’s fundraising campaign, purchase General Admission and VIP tickets under their name and donate to their page! All the action’s happening at cbimiddletown.info/middletownrocks.
