Join us to rock, meet, and mingle with musicians, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, venture capitals, and business leaders in a social setting while supporting music education in the Bay Area at the Little Kids Rock’s 2nd annual Rockin’ The Bay benefit.
Wharton Alumni will have a table at this event. We are proud to support our community.
Held at Facebook Headquarters, the event will include a brief program featuring a dinner reception, a live and silent auction and a rock concert featuring amazing performers along with some Little Kids Rock students. Last year’s benefit featured musical guests including; Sammy Hagar, Taboo (Black Eyed Peas) and Matt Sorum (Guns N Roses; Velvet Revolver), and this year promises to be yet another unforgettable evening! The band members from
Moonalice and
Coverflow come from leading private equity firms (i.e. Elevation Partners) and venture capital firms (i.e. Mayfield) and innovative companies. They also know how to rock!
