The annual "Rock the House" concerts are the only music events in this area sponsored by not only the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, but by the Grammy folks in New York ! The concerts are benefit events for the Ronald McDonald House in Roanoke, Virginia, and everything is done with volunteers and donations. 100 % of the proceeds goes to the House- not just the profits... the entire proceeds ! 2007 will mark the 10th annual show, with past musicians coming from as far away as Toronto, Canada, New York City, Nashville, and Boston.

In September, Crossroads Music Festivals organizes a motorcycle toy run, the "Run for Ronald" , with all toys, and 100 % of the proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House. The event usually includes a 100+ mile ride, a party at a local dealership, and an evening of music and raffle prizes... and that's just the first day ! Day 2 starts with a Sunday Service by the Christian Motorcycle Association, and a shorter ride, ending with lunch at an interesting Roanoke area location.
