Thunderstruck Rocks Cops for Cancer Event Amid Weather Challenges

UPDATE: Thunderstruck, an AC/DC Tribute Band, electrified the crowd at the annual Cops for Cancer event on July 25, 2025, at Cerri Memorial Park in Cedar Point. Despite inclement weather, the band delivered a spirited performance that engaged attendees until it was cut short by safety concerns.

The highly anticipated show commenced at 6:00 PM, drawing a large crowd eager to support cancer research and local law enforcement. However, after just over an hour, officials made the tough decision to end the performance early due to worsening weather conditions.

Cops for Cancer is a community-centric fundraiser that not only showcases local talent but also raises critical funds for cancer research initiatives. Attendees expressed their disappointment but understood the necessity of prioritizing safety.

“We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we navigate these conditions,”

said an event organizer. “The spirit of community is what this event is all about, and we’re grateful for the support of Thunderstruck and everyone who came out tonight.”

The event, which typically draws hundreds, aims to raise funds to support families affected by cancer. This year’s festivities included food stalls, local vendors, and a raffle, all contributing to the community’s effort to combat this disease.

As the skies darkened, and lightning flashed in the distance, attendees had to make the tough choice of leaving early or staying to support the cause. Many opted to stay, cheering for Thunderstruck and showing solidarity with those affected by cancer.

The decision to cut the performance short was met with mixed emotions, but the community’s resolve remained unshaken. Organizers are hopeful that the event will continue to raise awareness and funds, despite the weather interruptions.

Next, organizers will review the event’s outcomes and discuss future plans to enhance safety and enjoyment for all participants. As fundraising efforts continue, community members are encouraged to donate online to ensure that the fight against cancer remains strong.
