Rebels for a Cause was founded by Paul Trudel, as a way to honor the memory of his daughter Maddie and to benefit Make-A-Wish of Michigan, an organization that personally touched his life as well as the lives of many children with life-threatening medical conditions.

While in the hospital at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, Maddie was visited by country star singer, Rodney Atkins. Rodney Atkins heard that Maddie's favorite song was none other then his number one best selling single "If You're Going Through Hell..." He was able to contact people who put into motion the steps needed to take him to meet Maddie. Arriving at Mott Hospital's pediatric oncology floor, he visited Maddie in her room. Taking along his guitar he played and sang his hit song for his most special audience.

That visit with Maddie remained sepcial to Rodney Atkins and when her father Paul contacted Rodney and told him about his vision of holding a concert to benefit children, without hesitation, Rodney Atkins agreed.

You too can be part of this amazing and awesome, from the heart, charity event. Enjoy a great evening and Bring Joy to others.
