Wheelerstock
For Cystic Fibrosis
September 6th Croydon, NH
◊
W
heelerstock, a rocking
new music festival to
benefit the Northern New
England Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, is September 6th, 2014 at
Page Farm in Croydon, NH. The
festival will feature local and regional headliners, The Wheelers,
Lynguistic Civilians and Jester
Jigs, as well as onsite overnight
camping.
Ty McCarthy, who is the festival pioneer and also the drummer
for The Wheelers, was inspired to
turn the music festival into a benefit after watching his close friend
Jake warrior through his own
battle with Cystic Fibrosis. Jake
recently survived a double lung
transplant, but still suffers from
the life-threatening genetic disorder. McCarthy is hopeful that
Wheelerstock will be able to help
both his friend and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and has set a
goal of raising at least 5K dollars
from Wheelerstock, to be donated
to the foundation.
Another highlight of the music
festival fundraiser is the Wheelerstock Raffle. The guests will get
a chance to win one of the many
items donated by Wheelerstock’s
local sponsors, ranging from a
brand new guitar to local restaurant gift certificates. Some of the
local sponsors include: Woodchuck
Hard Cider, Bear Hollow Vintage
Guitar, Seven Barrel Brewery,
July• 2014
and Windsor Station, among others. A hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets
at the festival will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, who has
endorsed the event as an official
benefit partner. Raffle tickets can
also be purchased by non-attendees prior to Wheelerstock.
There will be over 10 bands for
attendees to enjoy, all of whom
have donated their talent and
time to the benefit, and music of
all genres and styles will be plenty. The outdoor summer concert is
open to all ages, parking and on
site camping are included, and
there will be food and craft vendors, as well as an acoustic campfire jam to close out the evening.
Wheelerstock is still accepting
more vendors, of all types, and
are looking for more sponsors to
donate to the raffle or partner up
for festival promotion, with tax
write-off benefits for larger donations. Contact Ty McCarthy by
email at [email protected]
for more details on how to be a
part of Wheelerstock.
