About Solid Rock
Solid Rock is a Christian, 501 (c)(3) non-profit Arizona corporation founded by long time Valley residents Alice Cooper and Chuck Savale. Together, they envisioned an organization solely dedicated to helping Valley teens. In November of 1995, Solid Rock was founded and the dream became a reality. Originally, Solid Rock existed to raise money for other Christian organizations and individuals with like-minded missions. However, the dream went well beyond its original fundraising foundation.
Alice and Chuck proposed a teen center that provides an outlet where they can flourish, understand themselves, and learn and equip themselves for the road ahead. Thus, the idea of “The Rock” teen center was born and the primary mission of Solid Rock was realized. Scheduled to open in the Spring of 2012, The Rock at 32nd Street will minister to teens through the music, dance, art, sports, recreation, and fellowship. With so many public schools forced to cut vital programs like music and dance due to lack of school funding, The Rock will cultivate a love of the arts to inspire and challenge teens to choose artistic excellence instead of drugs, guns, or gangs.
