The event features an eclectic lineup of notable Santa Cruz locals including American Idol Contestant James Durbin, Survivor Contestant Lex van den Berghe, Mayor of Santa Cruz Lynn Robinson, Rapper J-Willz, Poet Gary Young, and Santa Cruz Historian Geoff Dunn. Additional celebrities are announced daily at www.risinginternational.org/celebrityfun. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. For $50, event attendees can attend an exclusive VIP reception with James Durbin from 5pm to 6pm. A global marketplace, raffle prizes and a silent auction are also featured, as well as the signature drinks, the “Durbin Bourbon” and “Higher than Heaven” named for a single from Durbin’s debut album.
Proceeds from this event benefit the launch of Rising International’s Safe and Sound Program. According to the U.S. State Department, child human trafficking is the world’s second largest criminal enterprise, after drugs. Rising International, a non-profit organization based in Santa Cruz, has created a local-global program to keep children safe from trafficking through a series of survivor-led workshops. Event attendees can learn more about this program from the organization’s founder, Carmel Jud, who will be speaking about the Safe and Sound program at the event.
