The L.A. collective THE HELLCAT SAINGTS performed a special opening set featuring LINKIN PARK's CHESTER BENNINGTON with special guests DAVE NAVARRO, JULIETTE LEWIS, MARK McGRATH and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE's BRAD WILK.

RHONDA'S KISS executive director KYLE STEFANSKI commented:  "Our second-annual event in LOS ANGELES exceeded our every expectation. We are humbled by the support we've received and we are proud to be able to give back locally by supporting the CEDARS-SINAI SAMUEL OSCHIN COMPREHENSIVE CANCER INSTITUTE."
