ICYMI In Case You Missed It! Ryan Nece Foundation This past July, the casino raised money to support the Ryan Nece Foundation and hosted a Power of Giving Fundraiser Event on Friday, July 31st in the Hard Rock Cafe. This fun-filled evening featured a Charity Slot Tournament, red carpet ceremony, a benefit concert featuring Eden Shireen and a check presentation to the Ryan Nece Foundation for $6,985. To raise money for the Foundation, the casino donated 100 percent of the proceeds from sales of the limited edition Ryan Nece Foundation sunglasses as well as proceeds from sales of the 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Girls Calendar. This month’s special 4th of July inspired red, white and blue sunglasses sold out faster than any other sunglasses! Peace of Woodstock The Hard Rock Cafe celebrated the 46th anniversary of Woodstock in true funkadelic style at Peace of Woodstock, an event filled with peace, love, and a whole lot of rock ‘n roll. The highlight of the evening was movin’ and groovin’ to the sounds of the 60’s & 70’s with a tribute band, Peace of Woodstock. Unlike other tribute bands, they recreated the experience by playing an entire Woodstock show featuring songs from artists such as The Who, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Santana and more. Unfortunately, the summer couldn’t last forever and it was time to Peace Out and return to 2015.

She made an exclusive appearance for a Q&A session followed by an acoustic performance. Songs included “Unbreakable Smile,” “Funny,” “Should’ve Been Us,” and Tori closed out the show with an encore performance of her hit song “Nobody Love.” There was certainly a whole lot of love in the Hard Rock house for Tori Kelly!
