On Saturday, April 27, 2024, ABC7 News anchor Dan Ashley held his annual Rock the CASA concert before an enthusiastic audience at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek. This was the 10th year of this event, which featured the Oakland Symphony under the direction of maestro Omid Zoufonoun along with vocalist Franc D’Ambrosio, who is best known for his long running role as the Phantom of the Opera. In addition, there was an all-star tribute to the music of Tina Turner, which featured some of the Bay Area’s most prominent singers.
“I am just thrilled with the results of our 10th annual Rock the CASA charity concert,” Ashley told the San Francisco Bay Times, which is a media sponsor for the event. “The music was outstanding and the generosity of our patrons made it a very successful evening once again to benefit children in need in our community.”
Ashley started Rock the CASA as a nonprofit charity a decade ago to support children in our community through some remarkable organizations such as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA); Friends of Camp Concord, which sends underserved children to summer camp at Lake Tahoe; Big Brothers Big Sisters; and the Boys and Girls Club.
Over the years, Rock the CASA has been able to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to these worthy causes thanks to the generous support of sponsors, donors, and patrons. https://rockthecasa.org/
