The Chapters Health Foundation today announced plans to host the Fourth Annual Rock the Dock Fundraiser. The event will be held at the Tampa River Center on Julian B. Lane Park along W. Laurel Street from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday October 16, 2021.

Rock the Dock is an ultimate high-energy tribute to classic rock n’ roll with performances of legendary rock anthems. The theme for this year’s event is Born to Be Wild. The funds raised are slated for Chapters Health pediatric programs, which support the needs of children and their families facing serious illness and grief.

The pediatric programs include, but are not limited to:

• Pediatric Palliative Care – the comprehensive management of physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of children with serious illness and their families.
• Pediatric Hospice Care – Specialized pediatric hospice care provides support and relief to younger patients through integrated services that allow a child with a terminal illness to remain comfortable at home surrounded by loved ones.
• Children’s Bereavement Services – Chapters Health System’s children grief centers are safe places for children, ages six to 18, to grieve openly and at their own pace.

“In addition to being an incredibly fun event, Rock the Dock makes a huge difference for families in our community by supporting pediatric hospice, palliative care, and grief programming for patients during some of life’s most challenging moments,” said Lara White, managing director of corporate banking at Regions Bank. “At Regions, our mission is to make life better – that’s why we are so proud to partner with Chapters Health Foundation and sponsor Rock the Dock.”

Taking center stage are special guests Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt of HGTV’s “100 Day Dream Home.” The talented couple from Tampa makes dream homes come true for clients and were crowned winners of the second season of the hit competition series “Rock the Block.”

Individual tickets can be purchased for $150. Sponsorships available starting at $1,500. Register online at www.chaptersfoundation.com/rockthedock.
