Rock n’ Stock was initially created as an alternative to a final exam for the non-profit marketing class. Class professor David Bonko proposed students could either plan and execute an event that would benefit a local non-profit organization or have a typical final exam.
The students eagerly chose to plan their own fundraising event and from this decision, the idea for Rock n’ Stock was formed.
