Mission Statement
We are Rockin’ the Cause, a small but passionate nonprofit dedicated to making a difference through the power of music. Each year, we bring people together to break down barriers and build community — one song at a time. In 2025, we are proud to once again partner with Guitars for Vets to support veterans coping with PTSD. No one should face these challenges alone. Through music, camaraderie, and the healing power of creativity, veterans can find peace, purpose, and connection. We hope you’ll consider supporting us! P.S. Last year, we proudly donated $15,000 to Guitars for Vets, directly supporting approximately 43 Veterans through their transformative music program. In the two years prior, we helped an additional 76 Veterans—bringing the total to 119 individuals in our community who have benefited from this initiative. Each Veteran participates in a 10-week structured guitar instruction program, and upon completion, receives a new acoustic guitar, gig bag, strap, tuner, strings, picks, a method book, and a certificate of completion—empowering them with both skills and a renewed sense of purpose. Across the country, Guitars for vets has helped over 15,000 Veterans with the following: 21% improvement of PTSD symptoms and 27% decrease in related symptoms of depression.
