KISS Army Announces Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Rally
May 9, 2006, 18 years ago
The KISS Army March committee has announced the initial details surrounding the events and activities planned for Cleveland on August 5th, 2006. According to a press release, the American Cancer Society will receive 100% of the net proceeds generated by the event. The event's purpose is to change the course of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation's nomination and induction process, which has passed on KISS since they became eligible in 1999. The donation program to the American Cancer Society came about as a result of Eric Carr’s passing from cancer in 1991. Brian Harman, Regional Development Director, with the American Cancer Society shared his view this way: "This is a great community event put on by the KISS Army and the funds raised will help us KISS cancer goodbye." Donations are being requested through the group’s website at www.kissarmyunites.com. KISS fans are being asked to donate $1.00 to help the committee cover expenses and raise money for the American Cancer Society. For every dollar you donate your name will be entered to win a personal check signed by Eric Carr using his original name Paul Caravello. This drawing will be held at the KISS Army March following the Eric Carr Tribute (need not be present to win). The personal check was donated by the family of Eric Carr.
Kim Rolfe and Kristine Connell, (two of the planners of the event, and in charge of merchandising) long time KISS fans from the Southern Ontario area, have a bus booked and ready to go to take area KISS fans to Cleveland for the big weekend.
