On Saturday, September 11, 2010, hundreds of individuals will share in the heart of Union County's MusicFest by participating in the Rock On! Walkathon and 5K Rock 'n Run, taking place in Oak Ridge Park, Clark, New Jersey. Created in 2007, this event is dedicated to the fight against cancer and has already raised tens of thousands of dollars for the cause. This year's event continues the commitment to make a difference globally and locally, and will again benefit the Love Hope Strength Foundation and The Valerie Fund.

The Love Hope Strength Foundation and The Valerie Fund were both created to fulfill a need that exists at every level of society, in every country on our planet, and in our own backyards.

The Love Hope Strength Foundation was co-founded by two-time cancer survivor Mike Peters of the Welsh rock band, The Alarm, and leukemia survivor and President of CSI Entertainment, James Chippendale. The goal is to provide all cancer patients with the same healing opportunities that they had, including access to information, quality cancer treatment and the best medication available.

The Valerie Fund is a not-for-profit organization established in 1976 in memory of nine year old Valerie Goldstein by her parents, Ed and Sue. The Valerie Fund's mission is to provide support for the comprehensive health care of children with cancer and blood disorders. There are seven Valerie Fund Children's Centers for Cancer and Blood Disorders located in major hospitals in the tri-state area; the funds raised at this event will directly benefit the Center at Overlook Hospital.
