* an autographed poster from SEVENDUST
* autographed CDs from DISTURBED, STAIND, INCUBUS, and more

All proceeds that night will go to the families. There is no overhead taken out. The stage crew are working for free that night, the bands will be playing for free, the bartenders are donating their tips for the night, and Mike Martin of Engine House 13 is donating an official poster to sell as well as to auction one that the bands have signed, and Promowest Productions has put the Newport up for free.
