Woodystock is a grassroots event for music and art lovers. Along with the concert, local artists and food vendors will round out the event. Proceeds from the concert will benefit The Woody Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to raise funds for the recovery of people with spinal cord injuries. The concert is free; $20 donations are appreciated.


The Woody Foundation’s current major initiative is The Woody Pack, which is a collection of assistive devices for people who have sustained spinal cord injuries or are living with paralysis. Woody Pack backpacks are free and are designed to help regain a sense of independence. The included devices are used to aid during certain tasks such as eating or talking on the phone. All items in The Woody Pack are included to help improve quality of life – such items are not covered by insurance. 

“We’re looking forward to our second edition of Woodystock, it’s an incredible opportunity for us to raise money and spread awareness about the Woody Foundation and the free Woody Pack. I want more people to know about our foundation and the Woody Pack. I have eliminated the need for help from others in various situations, it’s helped me a lot and it can help others," said James "Woody" Beckham.
