NEW YORK—The countdown has begun for the April 2 Rock4Sight concert and party as band members prepare to take the stage at the Hard Rock Cafe and ticket holders get ready to dance the night away in support of ECN Purpose, a non-profit foundation that helps educate the public about eye health and facilitates access to vision care for people in need. Organizers of the April 2 event say the fundraiser is expected to draw a sizable crowd of Vision Expo attendees plus friends and fans of the band, which is made up of optical industry musicians and singers who are volunteering their time and talents to support ECN Purpose.

Tickets for Rock4Sight are $80 and can be purchased here or at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, depending on availability. The show starts at 8:30 p.m.
