Element Capital: Rocktoberfest-NYC Sponsor Since 2017.

Looking forward to rocking for good!

“We are counting down the days until we rock for good with our peers again this October,” said Rich Walz, General Counsel of Element Capital. “Our team eagerly awaits this unique and high-energy event year after year. Supporting a cause that improves the health and well-being of children, alleviates poverty, and empowers our next generation is central to Element Capital’s commitment to social impact.”

Wedbush: Rocktoberfest-Chicago Sponsor Since 2016.

Supporting eight years and counting.  

“Wedbush sponsoring Rocktoberfest initially seemed like support for a local charity, but we have come to understand this local effort is part of something much bigger and truly special,” said Bob Fitzsimmons, EVP Wedbush Securities Inc. “For eight years, we have witnessed our impact on the lives of these children and their families and are proud to sponsor this year once again.”

Barchart: Rocktoberfest-Chicago Sponsor Since 2021.

Making a positive impact.
