Rockability Charity Concert Series

Working with many disabled clients has greatly impacted our culture of giving back.

We have met many families facing disabilities or physical challenges, struggling to find the right supportive services or make ends meet so they could access the necessary medical care, equipment, or facilitate accessible housing options.

Determined to help these families and change up the typical “rubber chicken dinner” fundraiser, we set out to create an event that was compelling and incredibly entertaining and so the Digital Lifestyles Rockability Charity Concert Series was born!

Now in its 7^th year, our world class, intimate concert experience has so far proudly raised over $260,000 (net) for local charities that help those most vulnerable.

Digital Lifestyle’s latest Rockability Charity Concert was held on February 17th, 2018 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino Chrome Showroom and featured Phil X and the Drills.

Thank-you to everyone who attended and helped us raise almost $13,000 to support two incredible local charities – Easter Seals of Alberta and Accessible Housing.
