The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc. is the nonprofit organization that exists to educate visitors, fans and scholars from around the world about the history and continuing significance of rock and roll music. It carries out this mission both through its operation of a world-class museum that collects, preserves, exhibits and interprets this art form and through its library and archives as well as its educational programs.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has three signature fundraising events with all proceeds from these events supporting the important educational programs at the Museum.
Our signature events include:
Riot Girls & Rebels: A Celebration of Professional Women Who Rock This event celebrates women of all ages and backgrounds and recognizes their professional achievements and contributions to the arts. Our hope is to inspire the audience and future Riot Girls with personal accounts of our honorees’ careers. The recipients of the Rock Hall Riot Girl award will be an executive in the music industry, a female musician and lastly a Northeast Ohio business professional. Click here to view our 2008 event.
