Flogging Molly and Bouncing Souls will headline a holiday charity event on December 11th at the Avalon in Hollywood.

This is the second annaul benefit show guided by indie label Side One Dummy Records, and the event will benefit Wheels of Humanity. The bill will also feature Dead To Me.

The night will kick off with a set from Punk Rock Karaoke (featuring members of NOFX, Bad Religion, Adolescents & Social Distortion). Flogging Molly recently recorded a new album in Ireland.

Wheels for Humanity’s mission is to provide increased self sufficiency and mobility to people with disabilities throughout the world, without regard to political affiliation, religious belief or ethnic identity.

WFH began in 1996 and is a non-profit organization, and has since helped over 30,000 people with disabilities in over 58 countries gain increased mobility and dignity.

WFH is located in North Hollywood where a small professional staff and a large volunteer workforce collect, refurbish and ship donated wheelchairs. Last year, Joe Sib’s Rock To Roll benefit concert at the Key Club rose over $27,000 for WFH. The average wheel chair costs $150 to refurbish, which means last year’s event directly improved the lives of roughly 180 individuals in need.

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 9th.
