14th Annual SUITS THAT ROCK Raises More than $150,000

Suits That Rock logoArea professional “suits” concert raises funds for arts education 

Covington, KY – (Nov. 2, 2021) The Carnegie is pleased to announce its annual SUITS THAT ROCK concert raised more than $150,000 on Oct. 9, 2021. The fundraiser resumed its in-person event by taking the concert outdoors at Covington Plaza Outdoor Amphitheater. Thanks to the support of attendees and event sponsors, The Carnegie was able to raise a record amount for their arts education programming.

A local music tradition, SUITS THAT ROCK showcases local executives leaving the boardroom in favor of the stage. All under the event’s theme of “Get Back!”, the concert featured a mix of Guest Suits and returning favorites, all with the same purpose in mind: raising funds to support The Carnegie’s arts education programming, which provides in-school and after-school, and summer camp art programming to local students. To date, SUITS THAT ROCK has raised more than $1,250,000.

“The Suits are proud to be able to provide event attendees a great and safe outdoor experience but most of all, we are so happy to have raised a record amount in support of The Carnegie,” said John Domaschko, SUITS THAT ROCK co-founder and executive committee member. “Arts education at an early age helps children to develop in so many ways and each participating Suit can attest to its importance. Whether you’re a lawyer, doctor or corporate executive, the arts teach many valuable lessons that often translate into professional life.”

The 2021 event returned to in-person after the success of The Carnegie’s virtual campaign last year due to the pandemic. For more about The Carnegie, visit thecarnegie.com.
