The Dan Sullivan Foundation, in association with Rockland-Bergen Music Festival, presents a one-day concert to help two dear friends in need. Our brothers, Tim O'Donohue & Greg Lykins, are currently dealing with treatments due to cancer. Besides incoming medical costs, they both have loss of income while battling their respective fights.

THANK YOU to everyone who has already purchased tickets for the event, donated though you cannot attend and of course, all the great sponsors who have stepped up!

Two weeks away! Please come join us on Sunday, April 14, 2024 as we use music, food and friendship to lend a helping hand. The event will take place at the Gaelic Athletic Association in Orangeburg, NY from 11:30am to 7:30pm with bands/performers in two performance areas. Music starts at noon. The G.A.A. is located on the border of Rockland and Bergen counties.

The DSF/RBMF will be "run" more like our past Dan Sullivan Foundation events where an entry ticket will get you food, beer, wine, soda, water plus seven hours of non-stop live music! All the while helping friends in need.

There will be guitar raffles (two acoustic guitars donated by Alto Music and signed by all the performers), 50/50s and auction items: Yankees tickets, signed drum head by the legendary band The Smithereens, tickets to shows at The Turning Point, and more to come!

Our great friends at Posa-Posa Restaurant in Nanuet will be cooking up some fantastic food for this day! Spirits/other alcoholic beverages will be available on a cash bar basis, but beer and wine is included in your entry donation of $60 advance/$70 day of.

Tickets are being sold via Eventbrite and include all fees, so a $60 ticket is a $60 ticket. No add ons. Kids 16 and under are $25 each. All tickets are general admission. Day of admission will be $70 for adults and $30 for kids under 16. PLEASE purchase in advance as this helps us to know how much food to prepare!

There will be chairs, tables, couches and cocktail tables placed throughout the G.A.A. venue for a more casual experience.

If you can't make it there is an option to donate on a separate Eventbrite link. Just follow the link!

There are sponsorship opportunities for those who want to help above and beyond an entry ticket.
