So raising that money helps us do those services for free,' said Tammy Stalzer, the executive director with ALS in the Heartland. Officials hope to raise $40,000 to $50,000 this year.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The 11th annual Pete Goede ALS Benefit Concert is this weekend! The annual concert will be taking place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City inside of the Anthem. The Pete Goede ALS Benefit Concert takes place on Sunday from 1 p.m. until 8 p.m. and will feature a variety of bands.

Spencer no-kill animal shelter raising money for renovations The event is held in memory of Pete Goede, who was the lead singer of 'The Establishment.' The band was inducted into the Iowa Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. They performed at the then-named 'Rockin' For ALS Benefit Concert' in 2015. The name was changed after Goede passed away just a couple months later. ALS is a 'progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord,' according to the ALS Association. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, causes neurons that control muscles to degenerate until they eventually die, meaning those with the disease will lose voluntary muscle action. There is currently no cure for the disease. When Pete Goede was diagnosed, he wanted to help others in the same situation. 'This was his idea to do a concert in Sioux City for ALS. It was Pete's last concert…he passed that April,' said Eric Boetger, one of the organizers of the event and Goede's bandmate. The event is free to attend, though you must be 21 years of age or older to enter the Anthem. All proceeds from the concert go to families who are affected by ALS. KCAU 9 News is a proud sponsor of the Rockin' For A Cure: Pete GOede ALS Benefit Concert. This year, KCAU 9 donated $5,000 to the cause. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
