WE ROCKED Season 8! 🎸🤘

LVLUP Fitness Golden Bell Battle of the Bands Season 8 brought our community together to rock for one incredible purpose: raising funds for the Golden Bell Education Foundation and supporting Boca Raton public schools!

A massive congratulations to Al Goldberg, our Season 8 Top Fundraiser, who raised more than $52,000 and made history as our new All-Time Top Fundraiser!

The stage rocked with Hell on Heelz, BANDSWITHBENEFITS, Storm Surge, and No Retreat No Surrender. Congratulations to BANDSWITHBENEFITS, our Season 8 Winning Band, and No Retreat No Surrender, our People’s Choice winner! We also loved welcoming back Wild Souls, our Season 7 winning band, for a special performance.

A huge thank you to Dan Davidowitz and LVL UP Fitness FL , our Rock Star Sponsor, for your incredible generosity and support, and for bringing Raised on Radio to open and close the show. And an extra special shoutout to School of Rock Boca Raton and their team, this would not be possible without you!

To Chairman Chuck Stout, Event Chairs Christen Ritchey and Trisha Ramudo, Band Managers; Stephanie Hicks, Michelle Adams, Debbie Levine, Jill Glanzer and everyone who rocked, raised, donated, and supported—THANK YOU for rocking with us for Golden Bell Education Foundation

We look forward to seeing you all at Season 9 Golden Bell Battle of the Bands. Will YOU be our next Fundraising Rock Star!?
