School Of Rock Concert to Benefit Ronald McDonald House

Concert is slated for July 19 at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park

Asbury Park stalwart, The Stone Pony, has hosted some of the most famous acts in rock, and on July 19, it will host a special concert for a great cause.

The School of Rock, a performance-based music school for children, is bringing its Rock the House Tour to the Stone Pony, and the concert will benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Long Branch.

Those who attend the concert can redeem their ticket stubs for one free lesson at one of the School of Rock locations in Monmouth County (mention code RMHC to schedule). The School of Rock will donate $25 to the Ronald McDonald for each child who enrolls using the code by Sept. 30.

This is just one of 22 stops the tour will make this summer, and the purpose is raise awareness of organizations like the Ronald McDonald House that help children.

"The Ronald McDonald House provides a true home away from home for families of seriously ill children who receive care at medical facilities near our locations in Long Branch and New Brunswick," Ronald McDonald House events manager Nanette Leonard said.
