On 5 May, a group of employees of Swiss Life in Luxembourg, for the fifth consecutive year, joined forces to organize the charity event Rock Against Cancer at Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette; once again this year, many people attended the concert more enthusiastically than ever.

After a jump in the 80s last year, the 2017 edition was focused on the history of rock music from the 50s to today. The Belgian band Mister Cover got more than 500 people singing and dancing on his covers of the most famous hits. With the Luxembourgish acoustic-rock band Zero Point Five and DJ Deniz Labong, the right combination made this evening unforgettable!

Just like the past years, all participants partied for the good cause, all the profits being fully donated to two Luxembourgish foundations fighting against cancer – Fondation Cancer and Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner.

Initiated in 2013 by a group of employees of Swiss Life, Rock Against Cancer had already raised more than €80,000 for the two foundations. The insurance company dedicates every year time and resources through a collaborative team, supporting the organisation of Rock Against Cancer from A to Z.

On 15 June, the €28,000 raised during this year's concert will be equally donated to the two foundations in presence of the main sponsors who contributed to this successful 2017 edition: L’Essentiel, Eldoradio, Brainmize, Cargolux, Linklaters, M Project, Allen & Overy, Auto Factoria, CBP Quilvest, CLK, Comarch, Interalu and Nexum.

Preparations for the 2018 edition have already begun...
