The results are in and this year’s Denim & Diamonds was a remarkable success. The event drew a record crowd and produced more revenue than expected due to the support of individuals and local sponsorships.
The 2015 Denim & Diamonds event raised nearly $40,000.
Denim & Diamonds is the annual fundraiser held by the Rotary Club of Kelseyville Sunrise, held at Chacewater Winery & Olive Mill. It is an evening full of dancing, live music, silent & live auction, raffles, a four course meal as well as a wonderful group of individuals who give back to the community.
Over the past few years the event has raised a total of $500,000. All the money raised goes back into the community and has been instrumental in funding many important projects such as: dictionaries for all 3rd grade students, scholarships for high school graduates attending college, sponsorship of foreign exchange students both inbound and outbound, adopt a 5th grader as well as various service projects like the avenue of flags, the red chairs, the crosswalks and even LFRC’s shelter renovations just to name a few.
The Rotary Club of Kelseyville Sunrise wants to give an extra special thank you to our generous sponsors including: Lake County Tribal Health Consortium, Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Fidelity National, Bella Vista Farming Company, LLC, Boatique Winery, Mendocino Community Health Clinic, Lakeside Campus, Red Hill Vineyards & St. Helena Hospital Clearlake.
Chacewater Winery & Olive Mill generously donated the space and their staff worked hard, long hours to make this event possible. UCC Rentals also truly went above and beyond to support the community once again.
Please save the date for next year: May 14, 2016.
The 2016 Denim & Diamond Co-Chairs will be: Kimberly Baldwin & Tom Dodd. For more information please e-mail Kelseyvillerotary@gmail.com.
