For the 3rd consecutive year in a row, Insomniac has announced it’s partnership with eBay for charity. The 2017 EDC Week Charity Auction will be raising funds this year for the wonderful Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada. Bids are now open for the first wave of priceless experiences surrounding North America’s largest dance music festival, EDC Las Vegas.
“In my neighborhood growing up, the local community center always provided a place for myself and other kids to feel safe and connected to one another and the community. It feels great to give back to an organization that has brought wonderful programs and happiness to thousands of deserving children,” said Pasquale Rotella, Founder and CEO of Insomniac. “With the support of our incredible Headliners, this year’s EDC Week Charity Auction will fund a brand new art program for all 14 Boys & Girls Club locations in Southern Nevada.”

All auction items are available at eBay.com/Insomniac, with many bids starting at just $0.99 where 100 percent of the funds raised will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada. The new art program funded by the EDC Week Charity Auction will give children at every Southern Nevada clubhouse an outlet to express themselves through the arts, just as Insomniac festival attendees feel that they can freely express themselves at our shows.
