WARBY Valley Rocks will knock visitors’ socks off and assist refugees around the world.
On 24 October a benefit will be held at Reefton Hotel in McMahons Creek to raise funds for Save the Children Fund and Doctors Without Borders.
Bands such as the Yarra River Band and Tortured Artists will feature at the event.
Organiser Jude Power said there are still opportunities for bands to get involved in this good cause.
“I’m trying to get more locals involved because things won’t change unless more people are making changes,” Ms Power said.
She said the picture of a Syrian toddler who was found dead on a Turkish beach in September sparked her thoughts to help.
“That photo just got me so upset that I thought there’s no use crying, I have to do something about it,” Ms Power said.
The picture of Aylan Kurdi lying face-down on a beach after he drowned shocked the world.
He was one of 12 Syrians, including his older brother and mother, who died when their boat capsized on its way from Turkey to the Greek island of Kos.
Warby Valley Rocks will run from 10am to 10pm.
