Ritz Fest

Through a multi-day music festival, Ritz Fest aims to raise funds for the Jason Foundation to prevent the "Silent Epidemic" of youth suicide through educational and awareness programs that equip young people, educators/youth workers, and parents with the tools and resources to help identify and assist at-risk youths.

We have dedicated our fundraising efforts from this great live music to go to The Jason Foundation (JFI), who use ~98% of their donations to go to programming to help teachers and others who work with youth to recognize signs to help prevent the silent epidemic of youth suicide. As we enter into our 4th annual event, we have set a $15,000 fundraising goal for JFI. To date, we have raised over $19,000 for them and have repeatedly exceeded the previous year's fundraising.

Testimonials

Every day in South Carolina, 2 people die of suicide. Every 2 1/2 days, one of those deaths is a young person between the ages of 11 and 24. Our talented performers play for free to help us raise money for the Jason Foundation to end this silent epidemic. Some of the best bands in the midlands grace our stage.
