The 26
Miracles Concert project "Kids Rocking For Kids" with Farren began
with the vision of Nancy Freyberg, President of the Parent & Kids
Foundation in Wallingford, Conn. Elisa Giannelli, owner of Music Studio 307,
came on board to help create this event 
late in the fall of 2012  because
of her love of music and desire to help make a difference in her community
utilizing her business and professional promoting abilities.  Elisa has helped many non-profit
organizations such as Rock-4-Xmas, Folds of Honor Foundation and Hospice of
Southeastern Connecticut. “My philosophy since the beginning has been World
Help and World Peace through Music so partnering up with Concerts with Causes
was a no brainer; working with Lisa has been amazing” says Giannelli.  With Nancy Freyberg’s vision of helping 26
children, our goal is to raise enough money to send five children to camp. Each
campership cost $2500.



 In 1988, Paul Newman opened The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in
Conn. so that children coping with serious illnesses could have a special
hideout where they could simply be kids. The Camp, which served 288 campers its
first year, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012-13 with 20,000 children
and family members now experiencing “a different kind of healing” annually.
Each year, 2,500 are served onsite and 19,000 visits by the Hospital Outreach
Program bring the fun and friendship of Camp into more than 20 locations
throughout the Northeast – all free of charge. The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
is celebrating this milestone with events and initiatives that will gather the
Camp family together and invite new friends to support Paul Newman’s dream. For

The
artists who will be performing range in age from 14-21; Gypsyrose is 14,
Lentner’s members range from 17 to 21 and Humble Patients are all 21 as of this
past year. Emcee Farren emerged onto the national scene in the early 80’s as
lead singer and guitarist for The Joe Perry Project then went on to co-found
his own band FARRENHEIT in 1986. Three singles from that album, 'Fool in Love',
'Bad Habit', and 'Lost in Loveland', as well as video exposure on MTV,
established FARRENHEIT as one of the premier new rock acts and resulted in
awards, media attention and new fans across the country. Charlie's new CD,
TUESDAY is his best work to date, featuring a song that was written, but never
released, by longtime friend, the late Brad Delp, powerhouse vocalist for the
legendary band BOSTON.
