WARP rock festival to feature silent auction benefiting Windsor Goodfellows
Windsor is gearing up to host its first-ever WARP Rock Festival, and in an effort to give back to the community, organizers have announced that they will be raising money for the Windsor Goodfellows through a silent auction. The event will take place at St. Cyril’s Slovak Centre on November 1, featuring performances by bands such as Van Halen Invasion, Just Heart, 80’s Gone Wild, and Sweetwood Mac.
The idea behind the festival is not only to showcase great music but also to make a positive impact on society. Mark Deblock, a promoter with ATN Productions, expressed their commitment to supporting the Windsor Goodfellows, an organization that plays a crucial role in Windsor-Essex. By partnering with them, the festival aims to contribute to the valuable work being done by the Windsor Goodfellows, which includes providing food security programs, children’s footwear and clothing, as well as Christmas meal boxes.
The silent auction will be a key feature of the festival, offering attendees the opportunity to bid on a variety of donated items, including memorabilia and experience packages. This provides a unique way for festival-goers to contribute to the cause while enjoying a day of fantastic music and entertainment. Brian Beaumont, the president of Windsor Goodfellows, expressed gratitude for being chosen as the beneficiary of the silent auction and highlighted the importance of community support in helping the organization fulfill its mission of ‘No Child Without a Christmas.’
Those interested in attending the WARP Festival or participating in the silent auction can find more information by contacting the organizers via email. Additionally, those interested in supporting the ongoing work of Windsor Goodfellows can visit their website for more details on how to get involved and make a difference in the community. This event serves as an excellent opportunity for music lovers to come together, enjoy great performances, and contribute to a worthy cause that has a real impact on the lives of individuals in Windsor-Essex.
