And through free after-school and low-cost summer programs, the Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center in Los Angeles revitalizes and empowers communities in crisis by providing a safe, nurturing environment committed to good citizenship and academic excellence.
“KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas is a SoCal holiday tradition, and we’re thrilled to announce the 33rd anniversary with this year’s stellar lineup,” said Kevin Weatherly, KROQ SVP of Programming. “We’re very grateful to these artists who will join us to support two incredible organizations that empower and uplift our local youth.”
