Hawkstock for Hasbro: Local Catholic high school students smile after participating with their band, Pulled from the Corner, in Bishop Hendricken’s “Hawkstock” at the end of the school year. “Hawkstock,” a fundraising event featuring live performances by student music groups, as well as comedic improvisation, began in 2010 as an effort to raise money to support those affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

This year, it was held in support of Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Between ticket sales, concession sales and donations, the one-night “Hawkstock” brought in approximately $2,450. “Hawkstock” was organized and hosted this year by Bishop Hendricken students Ryan Cox and Nick Casey. The evening featured 13 different student performances.
