Charity

The Ottawa Rock Lottery is honoured to be able to donate the show revenue to the Ottawa Food Bank.   Many of us in the arts community have first-hand experience with struggling to pay both rent and purchase groceries.  What a wonderful way to give back to a charity that has helped so many of ourselves or neighbours!

Who said the music community doesn’t give back!?

ROCK LOTTO 4.0 GOAL UPDATE:  $1,500!!!!
