Local bar and restaurant, the Roadhouse Macau, held a fundraising campaign titled “Rock For Relief” on Saturday to raise funds for the victims of the Portugal and London fires and the Sichuan landslide. A total of MOP55,006 was raised and will be divided equally between the three causes.
“We are delighted with the response we have once again received from the local community when asking them to join us in our efforts to support these worthy causes,” stated Tess Carruthers, Owner and Managing Director of the Roadhouse Macau.
Rock For Relief brought together seven different bands who each contributed their time and talent to the event.
“It was a pleasure for me to participate in a cause like this with a business that I respect so much,” said Jose Chan, from their band called The Bridge.
Aside from music, beautiful artworks from local artists including Alexandre Marreiros, Rui Rasquinho and Joaquim Franco were auctioned, as well as some collectable rock memorabilia donated by anonymous donors.
The amount raised was the sum of all proceeds from auctions, the lucky draw, donation boxes and 100 percent of the bar profits from the night.
