Over four nights in July, Belleville, Ont. rocked out for a good cause. Rockfest, organized by Mark Rashotte, owner of Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty and Belleville’s Empire Theatre and Empire Square venues, drew an enthusiastic crowd of more than 12,000 to see Slash, George Thorogood, Boston and the Steve Miller Band. Through ticket sales and a sold-out raffle organized by volunteers, $10,000 was raised for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation to benefit the local Three Oaks Shelter for abused women and their children.
