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.

To date, SUITS THAT ROCK has raised more than $1,100,00 for arts education at 60+ schools.

Musically, this year’s SUITS THAT ROCK concert will feature a mix of classic and contemporary rock tunes sure to appeal to audiences of all ages. Already selected for this year’s concert are “Mr. Blue Sky,” There’s Nothin’ Holding Me Back,” “Two Tickets to Paradise,” “Stayin’ Alive,” “Moves Like Jagger” and, in accordance with the theme, the appropriate “Get Back” by the Beatles.

The 2021 Guest Suits, many of whom participated in the virtual “Rock On for The Carnegie Kids” virtual campaign in 2020, include: Dan Cahill, Managing Principal and CEO at HSD Metrics; Chrissy Dunn Dutton, Litigation Partner at Buechner, Haffer, Meyers & Koeing Co., LPA.; Freidoon Ghazi, Cardiologist at Tri-Health Heart Institute; Brian Kaeppner, Manager of Enterprise Application Engineering at General Electric; Louis Kelly, Commonwealth’s Attorney for 54th Judicial Circuit, Shari Lauter, Director of Qualitative Operations for Campos and John Vitucci, Retired Sourcing Specialist and Senior Contract Administrator for General Electric.
