Rachel Dunkleman and her friends created the first ever Battle of the Bands in honor of her mom who has lupus -- a life threatening disease that affects nearly 2.2 million people in the United States.

This event is a unique opportunity for people of all ages to have a great time listening to phenomenal music. Judges include the talented MacKenna Medley -- who is currently wowing crowds at Laguna Beaches Mozambique, Las Vegas and will be performing with her father, Bill Medley, of the Righteous Brothers at the 15th Anniversary Bobby Hatfield Charity Golf Classic.

There will be great food, fun for all and lots of raffle prizes that include items from Chicks Sporting Goods, Sam Ash Music and much more. Don't stay home on a Saturday night -- come out and have a great time.

All proceeds benefit Lupus International a non-profit foundation dedicated to serving lupus patients and their loved ones since 1983.
