Rock Out Autism!

A group of LI teens including Rafe Tangorra and Gina Cardino bring their benefit concert to national attention.  Rock Out Autism was founded in 2008 by the two HS students who wanted to use the arts to support a cause.  They collaborated to create an exciting rock concert with an amazing atmosphere to raise funds for a local autism center in their community.  In 3 annual events, Rock Out Autism has grossed over $50,000, 100% of which was donated back to centers for autism to help pay for the services that many children and young adults struggling with autism need.  It has since become a nationally recognized non-profit foundation and they are constantly working to expand their program.  This year's show features Paging Grace, Nick Tangorra, The Walking Tree and Head Games (the #1 NY Foreigner tribute).
