Help the Choir Perform at Victory Junction Gang Camp
The R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir has several projects underway to raise the money that will enable them to accept an invitation to perform for other children with cancer at the Victory Junction Gang Camp in North Carolina this coming June.

If you weren't there, then you missed hearing the choir sing and have good food for a cause at the March 15, 2008 Pancake and Sausage Breakfast in the Christ Community Church in Campbell, Ohio. The choir performed every hour on the hour to raise funds for the trip and to raise money for children with cancer. Chris Yambar and LIFEMAXX™ made a special appearance during the breakfast. The real flesh-and-blood super hero Life Maxx™ appeared in public FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. Read more details in the event report.

About the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir
The R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir is sponsored by the A Way With Words Foundation (AWWWF). The R.O.C.c.K. part of the Choir's name represents the purpose of the choir: Raising Our Commitment to cancer Kids. The second letter "c" is not capitalized because we aim to make the painful effects of cancer small compared to what we can gain from the survival experiences we make and encounter along the way.

The Choir was created for children around the ages of 4 to 17 who were patients, survivors, relatives, or anyone who has been touched by cancer. Today the Choir continues its mission of expressing the voices of survival while learning a new and exciting way to cope.
More information. . .

Choir founder and leader Brenda M. Rider offers this insight: "These kids are not necessarily musicians, only touched by cancer with a love for music. The sound of this choir is excellent but when you listen with your heart they take your breath away."
