The Roots Rally 2 will be held from noon to 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Jergel’s Rhythm Grille, 103 Slade Lane, Warrendale.

Organizer Jeff Scheller said the event has three aims: the first is to honor his daughter, Riley, who died in 2008 due to a brain tumor.

Second, the event is a fundraiser to give back to two of the charities that helped the Scheller family: The Highmark Caring Place and Make-A-Wish (Marshall Middle Kids for Wish Club).

And, third, the event is a celebration of American roots music.
