In the aftermath of the death of Ronnie James Dio, the singer s Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund has continued to raise money for cancer research. And in honor of Ronnie s birthday this year, the fundraising effort has turned into a virtual event.
Dio, the dynamic Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Elf and Dio vocalist, will be celebrated through musical performances and special guest tributes and interviews in a virtual special taking place on July 10 at 5PM ET / 2PM PT through Rolling Live Studios.
The vocalist lost his battle with gastric cancer in 2010, but the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund has continued his efforts in supporting cancer research, annually hosting concerts, motorcycle rides, bowling events and auctions to help raise money.
