Rock for Relief’s goal is to raise money to support residents throughout Vancouver Island who are most in need during the pandemic.

This Island-wide fundraising effort is a joint initiative between CHEK, the Victoria Foundation and the Nanaimo Foundation, with donors able to direct their funds to either the Rapid Relief Fund, supporting Greater Victoria and the Cowichan Valley (www.rapidrelieffund.ca), or the Island Response Fund, supporting communities north of the Cowichan Valley (www.islandresponsefund.ca).

Rock for Relief: A Living Room Concert for Vancouver Island was broadcasted and streamed without commercial interruption on CHEK (Shaw ch. 6, Bluesky ch. 109/ Telus Optik ch. 121) as well as the CHEK Facebook page and YouTube channel.
