LAS VEGAS – Now in its fifth year, Insomniac’s annual EDC Las Vegas charity campaign recognizes Communities In Schools (CIS) of Nevada as the beneficiary to this year’s fundraising event. In partnership with online fundraising platform Surreal, Insomniac’s Charity Initiative has expanded with a dual program designed to offer both auction and sweepstakes experiences, which will raise funds to benefit CIS of Nevada, one of the nation’s leading nonprofit organizations dedicated to dropout prevention and providing students with a supportive community that empowers them to stay in school and achieve success. Now through Friday, May 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT, fans can donate or bid to win one of 10 once-in-a-lifetime experiences at givesurreal.com/edc2019.

 

“We created the Charity Initiative as a way to give back to our Las Vegas community while also giving our Headliners the chance to experience EDC in a way very few people ever have,” said Insomniac Founder & CEO Pasquale Rotella. “Communities In Schools is an organization that provides a crucial network of support for families and helps ensure kids have all the tools they need to graduate and pursue their dreams. Their commitment to strengthening and uplifting their community is inspiring, and I’m honored to partner with them for this year’s event.”

“We’re incredibly grateful to have been selected as the recipient of this year’s EDC Las Vegas Charity Initiative,” said Tami Hance-Lehr, CEO of Communities In Schools of Nevada. “Insomniac has enriched our community by promoting a culture of love and unity, and now by allowing our organization to expand to additional schools in Clark Country through our Southern Nevada affiliate, we can support more of our most at-risk students by ensuring they graduate and expanding the horizons of their future.”

 

This year’s sweepstakes and auction packages offer premium VIP experiences in addition to exclusive meet and greets with some of the biggest artists on the 2019 EDC Las Vegas lineup. The sweepstakes will allow Headliners the chance to win unbelievable prize packages, where each winner will be chosen at random. Participants will have the option to donate $5 for one ticket, $20 for five tickets, $50 for 20 tickets or $100 for 50 tickets for the chance to experience the Ultimate VIP weekend at EDC Las Vegas 2019.
