The You Rock Foundation

THE YOU ROCK FOUNDATION WAS CREATED TO SERVE AS A SAFE HAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED OR ARE CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM A MENTAL ILLNESS. USING MUSIC AS A BACKDROP, YOU ROCK SEEKS TO PULL THOSE SUFFERING OUT OF THE DARK AND SHOW THEM THE POSSIBILITIES OF MOVING FORWARD WITH LIFE. THIS IS DONE BY INTERVIEWING MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS REGARDING THEIR PERSONAL STORIES SO THIER WORDS MAY HELP OTHERS. "WHAT IF, INSTEAD OF INFERRING WHAT YOU THINK A SONG MEANS... WHAT IF YOU GOT THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT TO SIT DOWN, LOOK YOU IN THE EYES, AND TELL YOU ABOUT THE STRUGGLE THAT LED TO IT?" JOSEPH PENOLA, FOUNDER, THE YOU ROCK FOUNDATION
