Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Saturday, May 1, 2010Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Mother Fights for Kids with Autism One Guitar Track at a Time When Shari Goldberg's son, Noah, was diagnosed with autism at age two, the Pepper Pike mother didn't get mad, she got active. Shari has spent the last 10 years not only raising a special-needs child, but fighting for the future of the other 1 in 110 children with the disorder. She has walked to raise money, hosted fundraisers in her home, worked the phones, educated and counseled parents and caregivers and written her Congressman. But her biggest project to date is as a budding rock show promoter. Shari Goldberg is the driving force behind "Rock 'Til It Stops," Autism Speaks' annual fundraiser at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. This will be the fourth year Shari has put on the show, which started with popular local bands and has expanded to host prominent acts such as Stills, Stanley, The Funk Brothers, and this year, Don Felder, a former member of the Eagles. "If you would have told me a few years ago I would be planning concerts to entertain hundreds of people and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, I would have laughed," says Shari. "There is so much work, so many details that go into a rock concert. I am learning, though. And every year 'Rock 'Til It Stops' has been a big success." Have you purchased your tickets yet?
