At the race conclusion, the school will magically transform into a rock concert venue, where the fun continues with the 2nd annual “E-Rocks!, An Evening With The Nerds”, an unbelievable event headlined by one of America’s most famous cover bands. Guests will dine, drink and dance into the night, with opportunities to win an array of prizes in raffle baskets and silent auctions. All proceeds from this event, which drew over 250 ticket-holders in 2014, directly provide much-needed funds for educational and charitable initiatives. The event promises an increased attendance this year, and is open to the public, aged 21 and over.

For nearly a century, The School of St. Elizabeth has been a benchmark of academic excellence in the Bernardsville community, evidenced by this year’s significant increase in enrollment. With high academic standards, and a strong integration of technology into their curriculum, the school promises to stimulate intellectual curiosity, encourage creativity, and foster self respect alongside strict anti-bullying policies. The annual Cross & Crown 5K race and ERocks! concert are the school’s largest critical fundraisers of the year, and money raised supports rising tuition costs, the arts, technology, athletics, student activities, and so much more.
