We invite you to support the inaugural Pedaling for Pennies event! 

Professional Fighter and Lighting MMA Instructor Mark Vorgeas will pedal his bicycle from San Francisco to Laguna Hills over 5 days in early December.  His goal is to raise over $5000 for Fighting for Fitness programs and the youth competition team of Lightning MMA. Fighting For Fitness is a 501(c)(3) public charity purposed to reduce childhood obesity utilizing Mixed Marital Arts as the exercise vehicle for youths ages (8-17) in Orange County CA. Mark also hopes to raise awareness for kids and parents as to the importance of physical fitness for children.  Mark will document his journey on video and facebook as he embarks from San Francisco on December 9th travelling approximately 100 miles per day stopping to sleep in several spots along the way!  His 550 mile adventure will culminate on December 13th when he returns home to Lightning and Joker’s MMA in Laguna Hills and a public welcome home reception!

This is a benefit concert put on for one of our former Lightning MMA students Miles McCune (RIP) in order to raise as much money as possible for the McCune family. Due to a recent motorcycle tragedy, Miles lost his life, and it is a tremendous loss for anyone that had ever had the pleasure of meeting, knowing, or loving him. If you can make it out, come and celebrate the life of Miles with all of us at The Rocks. All of the bands associated have ties with him, and those that knew him know that he would have loved for all of us to have fun, enjoying the music that he loved, together celebrating. Thanks and we hope to see you there.

RIP Miles McCune 1986-2010

This is an O’ Dark Thirty and Ear/Splitters Cult Benefit Event.

Tuesday December, 21st 2010

Rocks
26022 Cape Drive, Laguna Niguel, CA
