RLuau 2008

RLUAU-2008-006
Jacob and Jennifer Ryg celebrated at the RLuau and even brought their daughter Olive in hula gear.
The second annual RLuau fundraiser was a tropical evening of neighbors, laughs, and great food.

On August 8, 2008, over 200 people came together at the International Event Center to celebrate and support Rochester neighborhoods.

Amidst a colorful and vibrant Hawaiian backdrop, participants enjoyed 78 silent auction baskets, 9 live auction items, 3 live comedians, and tasty food.

Thanks to all who came out for the evening, RNeighbors was able to raise just under $7,000 at the event, which will be used to provide tools for Rochester Neighborhoods.

The RLuau sponsors (especially BP, as Event Sponsor), co-chairs Tami Timbeross and Sheila Cada, the RLuau committee, and RNeighbors board members were integral in this event’s Hawaiian-like triumph.

Hawaiian Ukulele Stage Sponsor • $5,000

Palm Tree Sponsor • $500

Tiki Hut Sponsor • $100

Message in a Bottle Media Sponsor • Event advertising

Over 130 individuals, businesses and organizations donated their time, services, products, and ideas for this successful event.

We greatly appreciate this outpouring of enthusiasm and financial support of Rochester neighborhoods and hope to see you next year at the RLuau!
