KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Denim & Diamonds was held on May 16 and is the annual fundraiser held by the Rotary Club of Kelseyville Sunrise held at Chacewater Winery & Olive Mill. 

It is an evening full of dancing, live music, silent and live auction, raffles, a delicious four-course meal as well as a wonderful group of individuals who give back to the community.

This year the event was a huge success, drawing in a record crowd and producing more revenue than expected due to the support of individuals and local sponsorships.

The 2015 Denim & Diamonds event raised nearly $40,000 and $500,000 over the past several years.

All the money raised goes back into the community and has been instrumental in funding many important projects such as dictionaries for all third grade students, scholarships for high school graduates attending college, sponsorship of foreign exchange students both inbound and outbound, adopt a fifth grader as well as various service projects like the avenue of flags you see in downtown, the red chairs, the crosswalks and even LFRC’s shelter renovations just to name a few.

The Rotary Club of Kelseyville Sunrise wants to give an extra special thank you to our generous sponsors including: Lake County Tribal Health Consortium, Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Fidelity National, Bella Vista Farming Co. LLC, Boatique Winery, Mendocino Community Health Clinic, Lakeside Campus, Red Hill Vineyards and St. Helena Hospital Clearlake. 

The group offered a large “thank you” to Chacewater Winery & Olive Mill for generously donating the space and working lots of hard, long hours to make this event possible. UCC Rentals also truly went above and beyond to support the community once again.

The Rotary Club of Kelseyville Sunrise greatly appreciates all the attendees and donors to our silent and live auction, every one of you makes this community a better place and allows Rotary Club of Kelseyville Sunrise is able to accomplish great things.
