SideOneDummy RecordsSide One Dummy Records’ fifth annual Rock to Roll charity event is happening this year at The Key Club in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday December 8, 2010. The event will directly benefit the non-profit organization UCP WHEELS FOR HUMANITY. Headlining the event this year is Anti-Flag. The night will also feature performances from The Black PacificPunk Rock KaraokeHeartsounds and Destruction Made Simple.

Since 1996, UCP WHEELS FOR HUMANITY has helped over 44,000 children and adults living in the poorest of conditions, in developing countries such as Zimbabwe, Vietnam, Ukraine, Mexico, Mongolia, and many others. Last year, the Rock to Roll benefit concert at Slims in San Francisco raised $23,000 for the charity. Combined Rock To Roll fund raising efforts have raised over $100,000 since the annual event began in 2006. The average wheelchair costs $150 to refurbish, which means Rock to Roll has directly improved the lives of roughly 670 individuals in need.

This year the event is back in Los Angeles and is taking place at the Key Club. Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 6. They are available in person at The Key Club (9039 West Sunset Boulevard.) box office, or online here.

Anti-Flag released their 7th studio album The People or The Gun on Side One Dummy Records.
