Oregon Scientific to Sponsor First-Ever Rock Concert on Mount Everest!

Oregon Scientific is proud to partner with the Love Hope Strength Foundation as an official sponsor of “Everest Rocks.” A fourteen-day trek up Mount Everest by 40 of the world's top musicians and mountaineers, Everest Rocks will culminate with the first-ever rock concert to take place at Mount Everest’s Base Camp. Footage of the concert, the trek and events leading up to it will be filmed exclusively using Oregon Scientific’s ATC2K Waterproof Action Cam . Forty ATC2K cameras have been donated to the Love Hope Strength Foundation, making it possible to capture footage of this ground-breaking event.

“We are extremely honored to work with the Love Hope Strength Foundation in their effort to help raise money for worldwide cancer research and the Nepal Cancer Relief Society,” said Mike Prager, president of Oregon Scientific US. “This is a unique opportunity and we are thrilled that the entire world will be able to share in the experience through video footage captured by the ATC2K.”

The climb is designed to bring awareness to, and raise money for the Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHSF), founded by two-time cancer survivor and rock icon, Mike Peters of the UK band "The Alarm" and fellow cancer survivor James Chippendale, president of CSI Entertainment, one of the country’s largest entertainment and sports insurance brokers. Joining Peters and Chippendale on the 18,000 foot climb will be musical legends Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats, Nick Harper, Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook, and The Fixx’s Cy Curnin and Jamie West-Oram.
