Floodstock 2008 Flood Relief Benefit Concert
Between 6,000 and 7,000 jobs were lost as hundreds of local and national businesses were flooded. Early damage estimates are already in the billions, and will rise.

A group of local businesses have teamed up with the Cedar Rapids and Marion Chambers of Commerce, the Jaycees, the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, and several other local and national organizations to help bring economic relief to individuals and businesses affected by the flood.
The core of this effort will be an event, FloodStock 2008, to serve as the vehicle to generate funds for relief.
Area businesses and organizations are coming together to host this benefit concert on July 3, 4 and 5 at Cabo Grill, 2730 Edgewood Rd. SW in Cedar Rapids.

Floodstock 2008 tickets will be available at the gate for $10 per person. All proceeds from Floodstock 2008 will go towards residents and businesses affected by the flood.
More than 20 popular local bands have agreed to play the event, with more inquiring how to participate every day.
