Hey Ahwatukee — we need your help.
Unfortunately, one of our scheduled bands for the Light Up Ahwatukee Spring Gala on April 17 had to pull out due to a personal emergency.

We completely understand and wish them well.
That means we have an opening — and we’re hoping the community can come through.
We’re looking for a classic rock band willing to donate their time and play at our annual charity gala at Foothills Golf Club.

This is a 21+ event with 300+ guests, and all proceeds benefit local nonprofits including Pathway to Work, Hope for the Homeless, and The Armer Foundation.

What we’re looking for:
🎸 Classic rock band
📅 Friday, April 17 · Evening set
📍 Foothills Golf Club, Ahwatukee
🎤 amazing crowd provided

💙 Pro bono / donated performance (possibly tax deductible)

If you’re in a band — or you KNOW someone in a band — please tag them, share this post, or send them our way.

📩 DM us or email [email protected]
Please share. The more eyes on this, the better our chances. Thank you, Ahwatukee. 💙
