Rock the Dock is a community fundraiser hosted by Lake Wildwood members in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Neighbors are invited to gather on the lake, pull up their boats, and enjoy an afternoon of music, giving, and community support.

Support begins before the main event. Look for the Rock the Dock golf cart in the Fourth of July parade, where volunteers in Rock the Dock shirts will be collecting donations by QR code and cash. Donors at the parade will receive a small gift.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available, with levels ranging from $100 to $2,500. Every dollar raised goes to St. Jude. Checks may be made payable to St. Jude and mailed to Dave Krahn, 654 Driftwood Ct, Varna, IL 61375.
