The Greater Good: Rock Voices, Make-A-Wish Donut

Rock Voices raise money

They raised their voices and they raised a significant amount of money. Rock Voices, a non-audition choir that sings rock and pop hits put on concerts over the weekend at Shaker High in Colonie and Saratoga Springs High School. They raised $6,000 for Kelly’s Angels, the charity that helps children who’ve lost a parent to cancer and provides aid to families currently battling. Rock Voices is always looking for singers for their Albany and Saratoga choirs – no experience necessary.
