Funds raised will go to University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children Hospital. With your support we can help find a cure. Beats for a Cure: Battling Cancer Through Music. https://www.beatsforacure.org/ 

When you register you are given the option to become of a fundraiser or create/join a fundraising team. We will be giving a prize to the top individual and top team that raises the most funds.
