To date BANC has helped raise
over 5.4 million dollars for charities throughout North America.

BANC is a group of like-minded musicians, brought together by the idea of giving back. Co-founded by philanthropist JC Carter and Quiet Riot’s Rudy Sarzo, BANC’s performances have become a revolving door for some of North America’s greatest rock musicians, sharing the stage with the likes of Derek Sharp, Ellis Hall and Sass Jordan. As well as special guests such as Emmylou Harris, Tom Cochrane, Brett Kissel, and Randy Bachman. 

BANC has raised upwards of 4 million dollars since 2015. BANC has been dedicated to raising funds through performance to support community initiatives of all kinds. They have graced the stage of multiple iconic venues such as Whiskey a Go Go, and The Ryman Auditorium. Their efforts have contributed to shaping the state-of-the-art National Music Centre facilities in Calgary AB, and BANC has also partnered with many charities, including Little Warriors, The Brandon Flock Foundation, Alberta Cancer Foundation, Hollow Bone Healing Lodge, MusiCares, Y.E.S.S, Calgary Youth Police Foundation, Emmylou Harris’ initiative Bonaparte’s Retreat, Impact Society, and The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. 

Funds raised at Calgary’s 2022 event went towards helping the Stardale Women's Group,  Impact Society, and Calgary Police Youth Foundation. Edmonton’s 2022 benefit contributed to The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.

BANC looks forward to a bright future, continually seeking to forge partnerships that share the same vision of art-fuelled fund-raising.
