Sugar House Rotary hosts Benefit Concert for Adoption Awareness

Last September, The Rotary Club of Sugar House held a party.  The honorees were either “adoptable children” in northern Utah or families hoping to adopt.  The party lasted two hours.  The results will last multiple life times.  A 17 year old girl met a family and magic happened.  5 months later, she was part of that family.  A girl who in only  a few short months would have turned 18 and become a legal adult, thereby leaving the Child Protective Services safety net, now has parents who love her, a family relationship for life, and grandparents for any future children she may have.  Obviously, the event was a success.

To insure other children will have this same opportunity, Sugar House Rotary is holding a benefit concert to raise funds to secure a healthy future for this event.
The concert will star Ricci Martin, son of Dean Martin, remembering his father through song and stories.  The date is April 28th, 2012 7:30pm in the Vieve Gore Concert Hall at Westminster College.

I believe you would enjoy attending this event; but even more, I hope you would like to feel that you have done something to help a youth in the care of the Child Protective Services find HOPE that they, too, will find a family to love them.
There are two ways to support this program:


            1.  Buy tickets to the concert; enjoy a wonderful show, and let the pleasure of your evening be doubled knowing you are providing the potential for another child to be adopted.

            2.  If you cannot attend the show, simply write a tax deductible check in any amount to:  Sugar House Rotary Charity Events, Inc and drop it in the mail.
Either way, send your check to: Sugar House Rotary Club, P.O.  BOX 526102, SLC, Utah 84152-6102.

There are two ticket types available:  1. STANDARD SEATING is $75.00.  2.  PREMIUM SEATING is $125.00, which includes the opportunity to attend a catered Meet and Greet event after the show to meet Mr. Martin and the band members. Contact Garth Briggs at 801-277-4646 to reserve seats.

Yes, the prices are high.  We are buying HOPE and that sometimes costs a lot.  $45.00 from each ticket is tax deductible and is used to support adoption.  Please; help us, help them.
