UPCOMING EVENT September 6th, 7pm-2am, we hope to see you there!

Each year we get bigger and better! We are so beyond grateful to over 300 people showing up each year! 3 DJ's and 4 bands took over the venue from 7pm until 2am, helping us to raise even more money once again! Nearly $7500 dollars were raised by fantastic supporters! The money was donated to a school in Brooklyn, NY. We collaborated with Otter House Studios to have students play and record their own music and learn the ins and outs of a recording studio! Then we bought them their own recording studio equipment that they will now use to mix and record songs of their own at school!

Another fun event bringing out new faces as well as long time supporters! Bands and Dj's put on performances simultaneously to give us two party rooms that were both used for dancing of all ages! Indoor and outdoor areas were full of smiling, laughing, dancing and pictures in honor of Denis. Raising nearly $7,000 for children's music education! The money was donated to start a marching band for students in Brooklyn, NY! The school was also able to fix the grand piano for students to use in classes and performances.

This event we announced that we will be not only donating to a school but will also be donating to mental health. We are currently in the process of finding locations to donate. Please reach out to us with any suggestions! This event was our biggest yet, we brought back the Dj's and live bands giving us an all night event that raised nearly $6000!!

We were able to go back to Live events and kicked it off big! We introduced a venue with an indoor and outdoor space allowing us to have live bands performing inside and Dj's playing outside, two parties at once! This helped us raise about $4,000! We supplied a needy school in Brooklyn, NY with an entire curriculum for their students music program.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to host our annual fundraiser. We still wanted to raise money for children in need during these challenging times. We raised over $1000 by hosting LIVE concerts on our Instagram (@denstock_foundation). The funds were used to purchase remote learning materials and constructive play items for children in low-income areas in NYC. Books, crayons, chalk, pencils, notepads, card games, music shakers and more were prepared  in clear, reusable draw string bags for families to pick up at a safe location for their children.

Our 2019 fundraiser was held at Melrose Ballroom on July 11th in Astoria, NYC! We had about 300 attendees and raised over $2500. The proceeds were donated to St. Mary's Children's Hospital in Bayside, NY for their music therapy program. Children with varying disabilities have to live in the hospital due to their conditions. The music therapy program helps to regulate their heart rates and also boosts their moods!

September 20th, 2018 we expanded to an event in Maryland! Our team expanded and we couldn't be happier! The event was held at Milkboy Arthouse where we were in the top three selling shows they've ever had! We raised nearly $6000 for a middle school in Maryland! The hope is for them to expand their music program to after school in order to get students off the streets. 

2018- NYC

June 28th, 2018 we had our second fundraiser at Studio Square in Astoria, Queens. About 400 people attended and we raised about $2300 to enhance our foundation and donate to a special needs school in Jamaica, Queens! The new music teacher and therapists in the school are able to engage the students in activities and help them learn through multi-sensory learning!  

May 8th, 2017 was our first fundraiser. It was held at Studio Square in Astoria, Queens. We had over 300 attendees and raised over $2500! The funds were donated to an elementary school in the Bronx. The music teacher was able to buy brand new instruments for all her classes and recorders for 3 full grades of students to bring home and keep! The students were ecstatic and have been learning about new interesting instruments and songs ever since!
