The event was co-sponsored by Volunteer Services and Campus Ministry. Admission was $5 for students and $10 for adults, which covered the cost of food as well as live entertainment and games. Among the bands that played were SMU alumnus Adam Stasica; SMU campus band Bookreader; The Monday Saga, featuring SMU alumnus Brandon Mathieus; and SMU alumnus Mike Munson.
Another large part of the fundraiser was a live auction which raised $1,087. Combined with the money from admission and donations, Rockin’ for Relief raised a total of $5,398.78 total. Proceeds went to Habitat for Humanity and Catholic Charities.
There are other ways students can help with flood relief efforts. Several volunteer groups from SMU have helped on weekends, and more opportunities will be offered in the future. Students interested in volunteering can contact Katie LaPlant in Volunteer Services.
