Long Islanders are invited to dance the night away at the “Rock for Recovery” rock concert to support Long Island Reach on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at The Anchor Tavern in Long Beach. This concert is a way for community members to come together and combat Long Island’s triple threat – the opioid crisis, mental health crisis and repercussions from COVID pandemic.
The concert is open to the public and kicks off at 6 p.m. with four local bands taking stage throughout the night which include Katie Mitchell Band, Turnpike Joe and the Traffic Jam, F.O.G. and Last Licks.
Sponsorships are available and individual tickets are $100 which includes admission, food and drinks are included.
“Our idea was pretty simple…to bring the community together to “rock out” for recovery, on a special night filled with fun, rock and roll tunes that everyone will know, all to aid Reach’s mission to build healthy lifestyles through substance abuse and mental health counseling,” said Scott K. Nigro, Long Island Reach chairperson and co-creator of the event and lead singer for F.O.G.
The community-based, multi-service agency needs support now more than ever due to increased demand in services. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards resources for programs of Long Island Reach. To purchase tickets or a sponsorship, please visit: www.longislandreach.org/rock-for-recovery
