Tavit Daniel for Insomniac
While Headliners celebrated the 20th anniversary of EDC in Las Vegas this past June, they were also doing a lot of good at the same time. For each ticket purchased, $1 for regular passes and $10 for each guest list attendee was allocated to go towards three very deservant charities. Insomniac will be donating that money to the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, Emergency Medicine Resident Research Fund and Injured Police Officers Fund (IPOF) with each of them receiving $40,000.
The Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation (NCCF) provides services to improve the quality of life for critically ill children and their families. Insomniac’s donation will benefit NCCF’s Project A.R.K. which houses the financial, educational and emotional support services offered free of charge.
The Injured Police Officers Fund (IPOF) reduces the financial burden suffered by police officers and their families in the event of a line of duty injury or death. IPOF assists thousands of offers in Nevada by providing monetary assistance to them and their loved ones.
Emergency Medicine Resident Research Fund is an established gift fund used to support resident research activities within the University of Nevada School of Medicine Foundation’s Emergency Medicine department. The physicians that planned and directed the care for EDC Las Vegas are local physicians, involved in the teaching and training of emergency medicine residents for the University of Nevada School of Medicine.
Pasquale Rotella, Founder and CEO of Insomniac goes on to say:
Thanks to all the incredible Headliners who celebrated EDC’s 20th anniversary this year, we were able to collect thousands of dollars in ticket and guest list donations for Insomniac Cares, Las Vegas has done so much for us since 2011. It’s an amazing feeling to give back to some of the groups that do good work in the community. I’m proud to present funds to Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, Injured Police Officers Fund, and Emergency Medicine Resident Research Fund.
Insomniac continues to show us how a true festival not only embraces their fans and the city that hosts it, but how much the people that live and contribute to so much of the success in Las Vegas really mean. Immense props to Insomniac, keep up the good vibes and making a difference.
