Fleming Students Hosting Battle of the Bands To Raise Funds For 30 Hour Famine Event

A group of students at Fleming College are participating in a 30 Hour Famine event on April 8th and 9th. They will be camped out at the Steele Centre (Sutherland Campus, 599 Brealey Dr., Peterborough) for the night, fasting for 30 hours to raise funds and awareness for programs that combat poverty and help children and communities in need around the world.
 
In an effort to further fundraise for the event, the students will be hosting a Battle of the Bands on Friday, April 8th (in the Steele Centre at the Sutherland Campus). Doors open at 8:30 p.m.
 
So far, nine bands have already confirmed to battle it out. This is an all ages, dry event that is open to the community. The cost is $5 to get in with all proceeds going to the 30 Hour Famine. The organizers will also be offering a bus (for a small fee) at the end of the night to take people downtown as city transit service ends at 10:40 p.m.
