>On August 24th, 2001, In Santa Monica's Quest Studio,
>will be the first annual undertaking of the So Cal
>RAINN Event Fundraiser. World-conscious and curious
>Tori Amos supporters alike will gather to help raise
>money for RAINN, the nation's only confidential,
>toll-free, twenty-four hour hotline for survivors of
>rape, abuse an incest (hence the R, A, and I in the
>acronym RAINN.) The evtn will include musical
>performances by: blah blah, Chris Laterzo, Carla
>blah, and Faith and the Muse, with possible other
>names to be released. Included in the festivities
>will be food, including gourmet pizza, appetizer
>platters from Bristol Farms, cake from Claim Jumper's,
>as well as donations from other generous local
>catering and restaurant supporters. Throughout the
>night, a silent auction of music and movie memorabilia
>will be present, and the night will conclude with gift

>Rather than a large entourage of celebrities
>organizing the event, this event has been organized
>and shall be maintained yearly by six ywenty-something
>individuals working for a cause. Says Christina
>Ramirez, one of the organizers, "We initially got
>interested because we are all fans of Tori Amos, who
>helped to co-found the hotline. However, since
>beginning to work on this endeavor, we have realized
>how many people's lives rape, abuse, and incest
>impact. We're trying to make a difference, even if
>it's by a few dollars. That's a few dollars more to
>help this worthwhile cause. " Says Audrey Nieh, also
>an organizer of the event, "We're hoping to garner
>some public attention towards this tragic state. With
>crime going down, it's a shame that there's still a
>woman out there being assaulted once every two
>minutes. We hope the press and celebrities alike will
>find this a worthwile cause to donate their time at
>our future events."

> Statistics suggest that each and every one of us
>will know, do know, or will be a victim of a violent
>crime. Though that's a scary prospect, helping to
>combat and educate about sexual assault will help to
>break down those statistics and turn them around.
>With over sixty parties in thirty-four states and six
>countries, the So Cal RAINN event is looking to be one
>of the biggest. Yet, there is no competition among
>these groups. Says Erin Russell of SCRE, "We're not
>looking to brag about raising the most money, or being
>the best party, we're simply trying to get the message
>out, garner support, and of course, have everyone
>enjoy themselves while they support such a wonderful
>cause."

>To help get involved, tickets can be purchased for
>$50.00. This figure was derived off of a few facts:
>The average donator gives $45.00 to RAINN, and it
>costs $1085.00 to run the toll-free hotline for twelve
>hours. Larger donations can be made by contacting the
>coordinators at: SoCal RAINNEvent@aol.com or by
>accessing them online at:
>http://members.aol.com/socalrainnevent/ Those who
>cannot attend the event are encouraged to donate
>separately, or enter their raffle, concluding with a
>grand prize of a donated Bumble and Bumble full-line
>gift box, retailing at over $200.00, as well as other
>prizes.
