Win-Win Entertainment, the local nonprofit organization that pairs performers with charity events, celebrated its second annual fundraiser show, “Headliners Bash,” presented by the John C. Kish Foundation at The Quad Resort & Casino on November 22.
With more than 500 supporters in attendance, the “Headliners Bash” raised more than $40,000 from ticket sales and silent auction items, including a private cabin on the Las Vegas High Roller, a guitar signed by multiple rock stars and tickets to Elton John, Rod Stewart, Shania Twain and Celine Dion at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
"When we started this adventure a couple of years ago, we had no idea of the impact that Win-Win would have in the community, or that we’d be able to support so many non-profit organizations," says Civillico. "Win-Win Entertainment has surpassed all expectations in year two cross every metric – in number of performers and nonprofits registered on winwinentertainment.org, in events executed, in board development, and especially in community response. We see that support evidenced tonight in 13 headliners, 11 sponsors, the addition of a pre-show reception and silent auction, and of course - the number of people in attendance this evening."
The monies raised will help Win-Win’s fundamental work within the Las Vegas nonprofit community and fund other nonprofits with their fundraising events through 2014.
The show, hosted by Las Vegas entertainers Clint Holmes and Kelly Clinton, featured performances by Taylor Hicks, Jersey Boys, Mac King, Million Dollar Quartet, Frankie Moreno, Human Nature, the Kristef Brothers from “America’s Got Talent,” Frank Marino’s Divas, Recycled Percussion, Véronic DiCaire and Win-Win’s founder, The Quad headliner Jeff Civillico.
Founded by Civillico in July 2011, Win-Win Entertainment has arranged 25 events for nonprofits, including Spread the Word Nevada, Natural History Museum, Lili Claire Foundation, the Shade Tree and Grant a Gift Autism Foundation.
Last year, Win-Win Entertainment raised $3000 charity during its first annual fundraiser.
