2080 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, BC About this event
Over the last two years, iconic Canadian Rock performers have united to stage a benefit concert in the ongoing battle to beat cancer. As the brainchild of legendary drummer Rocket Norton of PRISM who sadly passed away from the disease this past April, these sold-out shows have electrified Vancouver and raised $660,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation.
On Thursday, October 17th, 2024, Wheaton Precious Metals is again proud to present ROCK BEATS CANCER at the Great Canadian Casino Show Theatre located at 2080 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, BC. Doors open at 6:00 PM.
Iconic Vancouver and Western Canadian artists will join in solidarity to perform their classic hits including Loverboy, Chilliwack, Powder Blues Band, Lee Aaron, Barney Bentall, Trooper’s Hot Shots, Streetheart, and Seeds of Time.
Proceeds from the Rock Beats Cancer concert go to the BC Cancer Foundation to support the Personalised Onco-Genomics (POG) Program, a world-leading research initiative that uses intensive genomic data collection and analysis to identify and understand the genomic alterations that drive cancer growth, metastasis, and the biological evolution and response to therapies.
All donations to this program are matched dollar for dollar by the Federal Government of Canada, DOUBLING the impact of all ticket and auction revenue.
