With the help of the Sebago Boating Club, the 2nd annual Rockin’ Raft-up concert features the Don Campbell Band performing for free at Boaters Beach, with donations welcome, to benefit Camp Sunshine. The concert will be held starting at noon on Sunday, Aug. 10 at Boater's Beach (Rich Memorial Beach) in Standish.

Donations will benefit Camp Sunshine of Casco, Maine This feel-good concert invites boaters to raft-up, float, and enjoy an afternoon of live music, lake vibes, and giving back — all in support of Camp Sunshine, a special retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

“It’s a chance for the Sebago boating community to come together for a great cause while enjoying what they love most—being on the water, connecting with friends, and great live music!” says organizer Kristen DeQuattro.

Camp Sunshine provides hope, joy and community through unique experiences for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. At its pristine campus on Sebago Lake in Casco, more than 60,000 children, siblings, parents and caregivers from all 50 states and 27 countries have come together for fun-filled, year-round sessions with families just like theirs.

Thanks to the incredible support of donors and volunteers, Camp Sunshine programs are 100 percent free for participants. Camp Sunshine is where families can focus on recharging, together, in a safe space with medical support available and a place where families discover a community who understand, and families find family.

With decades of dedication and expertise, staff and volunteers in each session put families at ease. Families can set their worries aside knowing that there is a physician on site. Camp Sunshine is a place where families can really relax and let staff and volunteers take care of every member of the family.

​Meeting other families who face the same issues, large and small, is a unique benefit of the Camp Sunshine experience. While attending one of the year-round sessions offered at Camp Sunshine, families can enjoy a wide range of activities with up to 40 other families. Whether it’s reaching the top of the climbing wall, swimming in the lake, or enjoying a horse-drawn wagon ride during a winter session, there is fun for every member of the family.

As a musician, Don Campbell’s mandate is to “Always perform for the audience, never at them.” He pleases listeners, venue buyers and event organizers with well-attended and memorable concerts and shows continued strength in music sales.

He is a highly talented multi-instrumentalist and plays acoustic guitar, piano, B3 Organ, bass, electric guitar, nylon string guitar, mandolin and harmonica in recordings. These are all impressively delivered in his latest feature album, The Dust Never Settles, a full-bodied collection of songs about the magnetization of love.

His music has been described as feeling like a friend, a natural extension of the singer-songwriter. Campbell performs nearly 200 shows per year and he resides in Portland.

Known for her dynamic stage presence and versatile vocal styling, Andi has fronted a number of beloved acts, including funk-soul favorite Sly Chi, indie-pop outfit Doubting Gravity, and her latest ventures, After Dark – a premier party band that blends cover tunes and soulful originals with a modern edge, and Andi Fawcett Country, which delivers a modern twist on country songs from every decade; rich with harmonies, heartfelt storytelling, and dynamic male/female duets.

While she has a deep passion for writing original music, the foundation of her long-standing career lies in her live performances. Her solo act features a wide-ranging set of popular covers—from current hits to timeless classics. Whether it’s an intimate venue or a lively festival, Andi brings fresh energy and connection to every stage.
