Proceeds will benefit “Click It for Cassie” which is a charity started by Tom and Anne Geary, previous owners of Rory’s to promote seat belt awareness to save lives of children and adults alike.  The event also benefits the Open Door Shelter in Norwalk.

“We’ll be jammin’ again Mon” said Rory’s owner Bryan Malcarney.  “Darien as well as other surrounding towns got behind this event last year so we thought we should do it again.  Great music, great food and all for a good cause”.  Rory’s supports multiple charitable endeavors with annual contributions to the The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County, Katie Swaney Foundation for pediatric cancer, American Liver Foundation among others.  The 2012 Roots, Rock & Reggae festival is sponsored by Mini of Fairfield County, American Transit Insurance Co., Runner’s Roost, Darien News and Darien Sport Shop.
