Tri-Valley cancer patient support nonprofit Culinary Angels is looking to bring the community together for a fun evening during the first weekend of summer while raising support and awareness for its cause.
The organization’s first-ever “Life Rocks” benefit concert in Livermore will feature food trucks, local beer and wine, and live entertainment from opener Lot 49, a reggae-inspired pop group with Livermore roots, and headliner Meredith McHenry, known for her “unique stylistic sound blending blues to rock and funk to pop,” according to organizers.
“We are hoping to create a fun summer vibe where people can eat, drink, and enjoy themselves,” Executive Director Lisa McNaney said in a press release. “We are excited to be partnering with 3 Steves Winery and look forward to a unique concert experience.”
Founded eight years ago by McNaney, drawing inspiration from her own health journey, Culinary Angels is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that provides organic meals and nutrition education to cancer patients and their caregivers in all five Tri-Valley communities free-of-charge. “Our service visually represents a healthy, healing meal, as well as providing critical ingredients that promote fortification at a time in a person’s life where they can experience the benefits,” McNaney says on its website.
The “Life Rocks” benefit concert is set for 6-10 p.m. next Saturday (June 22) at 3 Steves Winery on Greenville Road in Livermore. The event fundraising is being supplemented by an online-only auction with a range of offerings. To learn more, fundraiser.support/liferocks.
