The Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival and tour headliners Avenged Sevenfold teamed with The Rock 106.9 WCCC in Hartford, CT to raise $11,000 in recognition of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Checks for $5500 were presented to both the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund onstage at the September 11 UPROAR show at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford, CT.

Flanked by members of the Hartford Police Department and Hartford Fire Department, Brent Clark from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and Tim Pelton from the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation accepted checks from Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival Producer John Oakes and UPROAR Director of Charitable Giving Greg Gura in a ceremony emceed by WCCC's Mike Karolyi. Earlier, UPROAR artists shared their memories of 9/11 and paid their respects to fallen firefighters and law enforcement officers via a short video message, followed by a flag presentation by a color guard from the Connecticut Army Reserves National Guard.

The money raised included donations from the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival through the Unite The United Foundation, as well as donations from fans and WCCC listeners.
