Country singer Dylan Schneider headlines the RockeTHON outdoor benefit concert Friday night in the parking lot of Jed’s on Campus, 3534 Dorr St.<\/p><\/div>\n

Scheduled from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27, in the parking lot of Jed’s on Campus, 3534 Dorr St., Concert for a Cause will feature country singer Dylan Schneider, \u201cThe Voice\u201d contestant Max Boyle and pop-country singer Angel Edwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, with the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to hold the RockeTHON dance marathon fully in person for the last two years,\u201d said Jared Kaplan, a co-leader of the annual event and a junior studying data science. \u201cJeds is hosting the concert and donating money to RockeTHON through a partnership.<\/p>\n

In its 21st<\/sup> edition, the community fundraiser looks different again because of the pandemic, and though it\u2019s not the traditional 13-hour dance marathon, the UToledo student organizers said the importance of the event hasn\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope as RockeTHON and other charity events continue year after year and we continue to raise money, we will be able to rocket towards miracles for the kids,\u201d Kaplan said.<\/p>\n

Students, faculty, family and friends have come together to raise more than $1 million since 2001 at RockeTHON.<\/p>\n
