dental clinic ardc battle of the bands 2025 The Augusta Regional Dental Clinic will hold its annual Battle of the Bands benefit concert on June 14 at The Foundry in Waynesboro.

The 2025 concert will mark the fourth consecutive year of this popular event that combines music with friendly competition.

Funds raised will benefit ARDC in its mission to provide essential dental care to local children and adults in need.

Performers this year include:

  • The Findells
  • Rewind
  • The Late Night Stumblers
  • The Danny Goodson Band

“The benefit concert is more than a great night out. It’s a powerful way to give back. Funds raised will support patient care, oral health education and expanded services, including our school-based and mental health programs,” said Sophie Parson, ARDC executive director. “Guests can look forward to an unforgettable evening of live performances, rock’n roll, food, drinks, door prizes and a shared commitment to a great cause.”

Parson told AFP they are watching the budget bill at the federal level closely for potential impacts due to Medicaid cuts.

“Any changes to the Medicaid program at the federal or state level would have dramatic consequences for our patients and organization,” she said.

The Foundry at Basic City Beer Co. will also donate 10 percent of sales to support the ARDC. The event drew 300 guests and raised $12,000 to support the clinic in 2024.

The event runs from 6-10 p.m.
