The Bay is a hub of great people. Frank Quattlebaum aka DJ RASCUE is one of those great people. In 2008 he was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure (Kidney Disease) and being the person that he is, he saw the needs of others through his pain and struggle and started the “Got Kidney Foundation”

This foundation raises awareness about donor needs and the struggles of the disease. This Sunday we offer MAJOR to continue raising the awareness and also raise much needed funds for RASCUE’s medical needs.
DJ RASCUE also put this great Hip-Hop Compilation CD that supports his cause through music. We will be celebrating the release of this CD and will have copies for sale as well.
Resident DJ MPENZI Plus Special Guest DJ RASCUE will be on the decks all night.
JUSTIN aka j s i g h t will be hosting and getting those great snapshots of the event.
