The first annual HFC Rocks to Fight Child Abuse concert in support of Help For Children (HFC) is taking place on 26 October, 2017 at the Highline Ballroom in New York.

The concert, which is being backed by some major players in the alternative investment industry, will feature The Goo Goo Dolls, with special guest The Record Company.
 
Help For Children (HFC), established in 1998 as Hedge Funds Care, is a global foundation supported by the alternative investment industry. Its sole mission is to support efforts to prevent and treat child abuse. Help For Children raises money and awards grants in 12 major cities in the United States, Asia, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Ireland and the United Kingdom. 
 
In 2016, HFC distributed over USD1 million to organisations that work with children and families to prevent and treat child abuse in metropolitan New York City.
 
HFC is largely a volunteer-driven organszation with professionals from the hedge fund and private equity industries serving on the Board and on local committees that plan events and evaluate proposals.
