The event brought together six bands who challenged their fans to donate canned food items.  The band who raised the most food won a cash prize. 

Darton College Professor Roger Marietta says the real prize is knowing that students can have fun and have a food drive and help the community.

More than 1,000 cans of food were collected at the event.
