5th Annual Rotary Art Auction

For Immediate Release

The Pomona Rotary Club would like to invite you to its 5th Annual Art Auction Fundraiser on May 10th from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Sheraton Fairplex located at 601 West McKinley Avenue · Pomona. Dinner will begin at 6:00 p.m. Cost per ticket is $85.

Your contribution will benefit Wounded Soldiers from the Iraq / Afghanistan Deployment and Their Families who are receiving rehabilitation care at Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation.

Since 2001, more than 26,000 service members have been injured in Iraq and Afghanistan , with 60 to 70% of the injuries affecting the brain. The Veterans Administration and military hospitals have transferred many soldiers to Casa Colina, as well as other private rehabilitation facilities across the country. Casa Colina has established clinical and administrative relationships with top surgeons at Bethesda Hospital . These same doctors recommend Casa Colina repeatedly to families seeking another option and/or a place for their loved one to rehabilitate.

For the past four years the Pomona Rotary Art Auction has received art from celebrated artist such as: Father Bill Moore, Brad Sutton, Marcos Larios, George Rodrigue, Mary Delira, Lynette Howe, Roberto Hernandez, and Mr. Yi Kai just to name a few. We are grateful for their work and commitment to the Pomona community.

In order to make the event a success, the Rotary Club is requesting the public’s help by donating a Fine Art painting or object for the live auction at the event, or with a silent auction item such as a gift basket, tickets to premier events, hotel stays, sports memorabilia, etc.

The Rotary Club of Pomona is proud of its long and outstanding tradition of service in the community and would be happy to provide any additional materials or information that you request about this event or about Rotary, including the club’s tax-exempt ID number for your records.

Thank you in advance for your generous donation.
