About ROCKIN' THE CORPS

Washington D.C. businessman and philanthropist, Joseph E. Robert, Jr., CEO of the J.E. Robert Companies is the moving force behind ROCKIN' THE CORPS. Mr. Robert, long known for his charitable contributions through his philanthropic organization, Fight For Children, launched a separate 501(c)(3) organization, Support The Corps (www.supportthecorps.org), in an effort to rally support and contributions for the ROCKIN' THE CORPS concert, and assembled an all-star team including entertainment impresario Quincy Jones, record/ film producer Spencer Proffer and music manager Doc McGhee, to produce this unparalleled event. Jerry Inzerillo of Kerzner International also served as an Executive Producer along with Mr. Jones and Mr. Robert. All of the artists that participated in the ROCKIN' THE CORPS event graciously donated both their time and talent to support these real-life heroes.

To date, nearly 25,000 U.S. Marines and Sailors from Camp Pendleton, California, have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Camp Pendleton, the West Coast home of the Marine Corps, has suffered the highest casualty rate of any base in the United States. Mr. Robert's son, Corporal Joseph E. Robert III, is currently serving as a U.S. Marine, deployed in Iraq.

A special presentation of ROCKIN' THE CORPS, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen interviews with the performers, will also debut on high definition television network INHD2 on Monday, July 4.
