Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Wednesday, April 15th, 2015

Savannah area Rotary Clubs are gearing up for the sixth annual ‘Play It Forward’ musical and food extravaganza fundraising event which is returning to Savannah on the afternoon of Sunday, April 19 2015. The 2015 line-up includes a concert from The Rogues – a popular four piece band from Savannah who play Beach, great Oldies, Rock & Roll and some country music along with some talented Rotarians sharing their musical talents from a range of genres. 

Play It Forward has become an annual tradition and this family friendly event offers a fantastic range of food from local restaurants and caterers including Loves Seafood, McDonald’s, Savannah Coffee Roaster, The Gaslight Group which is included in the ticket price of $35 per person.  This fundraiser enables every Rotary club participating to raise money which is directly allocated back to each club’s charitable giving funds for international programs and giving back to our communities – depending on each club’s priorities. 

The event returns to the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum at 41 Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd, Savannah and offers a relaxed vibe with great food, music, a wine auction and fun. Space is limited and reservations are required.  To purchase your tickets please visit the ‘Play It Forward’ website at www.rotarianspif.org 

Camille Russo, Chairman of ‘Play It Forward’ and Past Board Member of The (Downtown) Rotary Club of Savannah, said, “Play It Forward promises to be huge fun and we are excited to welcome the Rogues.  This year, more Savannah area Rotary clubs are participating as word spreads about how enjoyable these fundraisers are and how much involvement can empower Rotarians to do more to support others.  However, we invite anybody who enjoys good music, food and fun on an April afternoon in Savannah.” 

Sponsorship packages are also available with levels ranging from Title sponsor at $5,000 to Bronze at $250.  Tickets and advertisements in the event program are included in sponsorship package which are available at www.rotarianspif.org
