Steve Miller Band Raises Half A Million For Kids

All proceeds from the event went to benefit the non-profit Kids Rock Free� music education program, to reduce the 800 kids on the program's waiting list into classes at The Fender Center.

With the success of the event, Kids Rock Free has also announced they will launch a nationwide campaign to expand the organization and its efforts by offering a model of music education that can be replicated in communities throughout the US.

With ongoing budget cuts in arts programs leaving many schools across the country without music programs, Kids Rock Free non-profit music education program aims to alleviate the void created by diminishing music education resources in schools. Individuals and organizations interested in learning more on how they can participate and build a community program of their own are encouraged to visit: www.FenderMuseum.com/KidsRockFree
