Budget cuts have caused a lot of worries around campus, and charity organizations have not been immune.

Delta Lambda Phi is helping one non-profit organization, Mid-Iowa Community Action, with the Rock the Red concert on Friday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Each year, MICA hosts an auction to raise money to assist with the medical bills of people living with HIV. Delta Lambda Phi has worked with MICA in recent years and took it upon itself to raise the money necessary to host the auction. The concert will feature six groups, most of them locally based.

Williams lead the arrangement of the bands.

“Atombender was the last band to be added and they were super pumped,” Williams said.

“We thought a concert would be a good way to pull in college kids and the community,” Williams said.

Mid-Iowa Community Action is a non-profit organization established to help serve families affected by poverty but has programs extending from Head Start, maternal and child health and weatherization and energy assistance, according to its Web site. It was founded in 1965 and serves families in Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek, Story and Tama County.

Some musicians will have merchandise at the show. The concert is open to the public.
