2022 Foundation Celebration: The Soul of Rotary

2022 Foundation Celebration: The Soul of Rotary District 5280

This year we are excited to host “The Soul of Rotary District 5280,” our first benefit concert to raise funds for The Rotary Foundation. The afternoon will be filled with incredible jazz and reggae music, featuring the Charles Small Jazz Quintet, Juan Carlos Quintero and his Latin jazz quintet, as well as One Drop Redemption (Bob Marley’s original tribute band featuring an original Wailer on vocals). It will be held at the 1,400-seat concert hall, The Novo at LA Live, on Sunday, November 20th at 1:00pm.

The Soul of Rotary District 5280 benefit concert begins with a fabulous VIP pre-party (invite only for sponsors) complete with cocktails and delicious food curated by Wolfgang Puck, silent and live auction as well as raffle opportunities, followed by a spectacular jazz and reggae concert. Backstage access and a Meet & Greet with the musicians round out this spectacular, not to be missed event.

The Soul of Rotary District 5280 brings Rotarian standouts, friends, and community partners together for an afternoon of camaraderie and most importantly,  fundraising for The Rotary Foundation. Concurrently, we are reaching out to our local business community to support the Rotary District 5280 TAY Training Program (Transitional Age foster care Youth).

OPPORTUNITY DRAWING TICKETS
The Foundation Celebration Drawing is a major part of the fundraising for Rotarians and the Rotary Clubs in District 5280.  “Every Rotarian, Every Year,” is the motto of Rotary International encouraging Rotarians to contribute annually to The Rotary Foundation.  The individual goal is a minimum of $100 each year for every Rotarian.  Rotary District 5280 has for many years reached higher, for a goal of $250 with 100% participation.
 
Tickets are $10 each and if you purchase 10 tickets you receive two bonus tickets (a total of 12 for $100). In order to incentivize greater participation this year, the winning prizes are significantly higher than in the past! You could be a winner of $7,500, $5,000 or $2,500! Download instructions.
