“We created the Charity Initiative as a way to give back to our Las Vegas community while also giving our Headliners the chance to experience EDC in a way very few people ever have,” said Insomniac Founder & CEO Pasquale Rotella. “Communities In Schools is an organization that provides a crucial network of support for families and helps ensure kids have all the tools they need to graduate and pursue their dreams. Their commitment to strengthening and uplifting their community is inspiring, and I’m honored to partner with them for this year’s event.”
“We’re incredibly grateful to have been selected as the recipient of this year’s EDC Las Vegas Charity Initiative,” said Tami Hance-Lehr, CEO of Communities In Schools of Nevada. “Insomniac has enriched our community by promoting a culture of love and unity, and now by allowing our organization to expand to additional schools in Clark Country through our Southern Nevada affiliate, we can support more of our most at-risk students by ensuring they graduate and expanding the horizons of their future.”
