Fourteen teams rocked throughout the day for local healthcare on Friday, June 21. That day marked the third-annual Rockathon, where participants collect pledges and rock together at the Valley Manor Courtyard. Above: The Valley Manor Courtyard was packed with rockers, residents and visitors during Rockathon 2024.
The event is organized by St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation (SFVHF) and a dedicated Rockathon committee consisting of Lisa Yantha, Julie Callon, Jill Vermaire, Susan Bernad and Sharon Florent, and SFVHF Staff Breanne Kuiack and Christine Hudder.
This year, funds raised will go toward local healthcare, including much needed equipment for the Valley Manor such as resident lifts, mattresses, bariatric beds & chairs and more.
Thank you to our incredible sponsors who made this day a success:

While the final numbers are still being tallied, more than $27,500 has been raised through Rockathon 2024. Thank you to everyone in the community who pledged their support to a team, rocked, and/or sponsored this year’s event.
