Sunday at the AwwwMazing Place, The ROCcK Children’s Choir will sing and welcome anyone who might want to be a part of the choir from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Eastwood Mall. The only requirement is a love of music and a desire to help others.

The ROCcK Children’s Choir is a nonprofit group of kids age 3 through 17 who are cancer survivors, siblings and those touched by cancer. They perform at local Relay For Life events, children’s hospitals, Hospice and nursing homes. They also conduct a “Kids helping Kids” tour on the days they are excused from school and in the summer.

The foundation charters a tour bus to carry the choir and parents to various locations to raise and inspire hope in many. Last year, the choir went to hospitals and children’s camps in Indiana.
