Hoodstock XVII
Virtual Event
Hoodstock is a grass roots music festival with its roots based on the rock/folk music scene of the
late ’60s and early ’70s mixed with contemporary music. Originally founded in 2004 as a
neighborhood event, Hoodstock is now a major fundraiser to benefit Unified Community
Connections and all they do to advance the independence of people with disabilities.
Although COVID-19 is keeping us from having our traditional Hoodstock event this year we believe
THE SHOW MUST GO ON-line!
Typically Hoodstock is the anti-black-tie charity event where guests “Just Say No to Black-Tie and
Yes to Tie-Dye” while enjoying live music, good food and drink. Approximately 350 people
attended last year raising more than $93,000!
This year we’re going VIRTUAL! We’re excited to have this opportunity to bring the fun and spirit
of Hoodstock to more people!
When: Saturday, October 17, 2020
Where: Get Ready to ROCK ON-line!
This year’s event will be virtual and streamed live via YouTube
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Event Headliner – Roses n Rust
What’s Provided: A streaming rock concert, YETI Cooler of Cheer raffle, and an online silent
auction.
This year’s event is sure to be VIRTUALLY the best Hoodstock EVER!

Hoodstock Facts:
- Hoodstock is a fundraiser for Unified Community Connections
- Hoodstock is meant to be the anti-black-tie charity event. It is designed in the
fashion of the late ’60s and early ’70s music festivals where all come casual,
relaxed, and enjoy rock/folk music from multiple local and regional bands.
Hoodstock does not look or feel like the traditional gala and we think that is a
good thing!
- Hoodstock started in 2004 at Russ & Jen Causey’s and Larry & Gracie Musher’s
Otterbein neighborHOOD backyard as a fun acoustic music party (no charity
affiliation) with 30+ guests
- 2005 was the first year Hoodstock served as a fundraiser for Unified Community
Connections. Still in the backyard with about 70 guests the event raised $1,200
- In its third year Hoodstock moved to the Otterbein Swim Club to allow for more
guests and better facilities. Hoodstock was held at the neighborhood pool for the
next 5 years with the last year having 187 guests and $20,300 raised
-The next 3 years (2011-2013) Hoodstock was held at the B&O Railroad Museum
with the last year’s event raising $65,000 with more than 350 guests. Our last
year at the B&O we had over 420 attend and raised more than $79,000
- Hoodstock moved in 2014 to the famous American Visionary Art Museum fondly
known as AVAM
- Last year for Hoodstock’s SWEET 16 we had more than 350 guests in
attendance raising more than $93,000!
- In the 16 years that Hoodstock has been a charity event for Unified Community
Connections it has raised over $724,000
- All musicians have performed for free and many have a direct connection to
Unified Community Connections
- This year’s event will be VIRTUALLY the best Hoodstock EVER!
