In previous years, the event has raised money for new shade structures and playgrounds
The La Mesa Park & Recreation Foundation will host its seventh annual La Mesa Rocks Fundraiser on Saturday to raise money to build more shade structures in the city's parks. The Oct. 7 fundraiser will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Allen Airways Flying Museum at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, at 2020 N. Marshall Ave. The event will include live music from The Farmers and The Rolf Olsen Jazz Quartet, as well as dinner and drinks.
All of the money raised during this year's fundraiser will go toward building more shade structures in La Mesa parks to provide respite from the heat on sunny days. The La Mesa Park & Recreation Foundation is a nonprofit raising money to improve the city's parks. The organization has raised money to build new playgrounds, serves as a sponsor for the La Mesa Downtown District sign, and funded, built and opened a community garden at MacArthur Park.
