New York indie rock sensation, American Authors, reward Brisbane volunteers
Brisbane volunteers who contributed almost 1000 hours to local communities in the past three weeks, celebrated with a live, money-can’t-buy exclusive gig with New York indie rock band American Authors at the Tivoli last night, thanks to Optus RockCorps.
The exclusive gig was the reward for young volunteers who donated four hours of their time to an Optus RockCorps community initiative. You can’t buy a ticket, you can’t win a ticket, you have to earn a ticket to the show.
American Authors band member Zac Bernett said, “Encouraging young Aussies to give back to their communities to secure a ticket to the Optus RockCorps Brisbane concert is great initiative. The atmosphere on stage and in the crowd in Brisbane was awesome and we can’t wait to do it all over again in Melbourne tomorrow night.”
Nathan Rosenberg, Head of Brand and Communications, Optus said, “Volunteering is in our DNA and Optus RockCorps is all about rewarding young Aussies for making a positive impact in their community. We’re really proud of the Brisbane volunteers who rolled up their sleeves and transformed a worthy cause – it’s awesome to see them be rewarded by having fun at the gig.”
Stephen Greene, CEO of RockCorps added, “Wow, it was great to have Optus RockCorps in Brisbane. American Authors smashed the show! It was fantastic to see the volunteers in Brisbane be rewarded for all their hard work. Can’t wait for Melbourne tomorrow night.”
American Authors set the stage alight for Brisbane volunteers at the Optus RockCorps concert at The Tivoli.
What is Optus RockCorps?
Optus RockCorps is a global youth movement that rewards volunteers who give up four hours of time with a ticket to see an exclusive, live concert with some of the world’s biggest musical acts.
The Australian program kicked off for the second time in Sydney earlier this year with volunteers donating their time to see Aussie sweetheart and pop icon Samantha Jade, alternative electro pioneers, Empire of the Sun, chart topping English electronic music quartet, Rudimental and R&B artist, Miguel perform at Luna Park in Sydney.
