Don’t miss Blue Bear’s most FUN annual fundraiser. . .
COMING APRIL 2026!
WHAT IS A ROCK-A-THON?!
Join Blue Bear for the month of April, as we spend time practicing our art and asking our friends to sponsor us in support of Blue Bear’s non-profit outreach programs.
Beginning April 2026, we will commit to four weeks of “Rocking Out” every day. (Or, at least once per day, 5 days per week for all 4 weeks.) And what is Rocking Out, you ask? It is spending some dedicated time immersing ourselves in art (and bringing joy and positivity into our lives in the process!)
READY TO ROCK?
Join in and become a ROCKER! You can sign up at givebutter.com/rock2026
Then you just pick any sort of art, and rock in any way.
You can. . .
– Practice your musical instrument (you know you’ve been meaning to.)
– Write (anything. . . song lyrics, poetry, your screenplay or novel.)
– Dance (to live music, at Zumba class or alone in your kitchen!)
– Create visual art (paint, sketch, take photos, get creative!)
– Learn (take part of Dr. Savage’s Musicology class, “Music, Culture and Ideas”)
– Appreciate (Revisit a favorite album or artist. Do they still hold up? Why?)
– Make something up! Just commit to enriching your life through creativity for 20 hours during the month of March.
NOT READY TO ROCK, BUT STILL WANT TO SUPPORT US? Sponsor a Rocker! Support your favorite Blue Bear student, teacher, board, staff member or friend. Awards await the biggest fundraisers!
HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT BLUE BEAR?
Rockers will ask their friends and families to sponsor them for their art-immersed time. Either a one-time donation or on a per “rock out” basis. From 50¢ per rock time to a $5000 one-time donation, any amount helps! We’ll provide everything Rockers will need to ask for sponsorships. The hardest part will be getting creative and having fun. 🙂
WHAT ARE THESE DONATIONS FOR?
All proceeds directly benefit two things crucial to Blue Bear’s mission:
– Sliding-scale tuition for our students in financial need, and
– Blue Bear’s outreach programs, where we provide FREE high-quality music education to underserved kids throughout San Francisco.
Through all of these programs, our students gain confidence, find joy, and create greater community.
AND, JOIN US FOR A FINALE CELEBRATION!
We’ll be hosting a rockin’ live event at the end of the month. All Rockers will be invited to perform (a song, a poem, a dance, whatever art they want to show!), and we’ll have a silent auction full of unique goodies. Admission will be free, and it just woon;t be a party without YOU! Hope to see you all there.
