Real estate and design professionals are tuning up their instruments for a night of music and philanthropy as the annual Battle of the Bands returns to the Stone Pony.

The third installment of the high-energy event, hosted by Bohler and Mancini Duffy, brings together real estate professionals and industry partners for live performances, networking and fundraising.

Beyond the stage performances and crowd participation, the primary goal of the evening is to raise awareness and financial support for the Mercy Center.

Featuring eight performing bands, the concert will direct all proceeds to the local nonprofit to support its programs for children and families.
