Cameron Sears speaking to crowd

What an incredible evening we enjoyed at this year’s Rex Foundation Annual Benefit! We sincerely thank Grateful Shred and Holly Bowling for their outstanding performance, which filled The Fillmore with music, joy, and magic. Their performances demonstrated that the music that brought us all together will continue to thrive in their capable hands!

To our amazing Rex supporters and everyone who took part in the auction, thank you for your generosity and spirit. Most importantly, we wholeheartedly thank all the volunteers and their relentless support, who show up year after year to lend a helping hand.
Rex thank yous

We’re also so grateful to The Fillmore for hosting us once again. It is always an honor to gather in such a legendary space with such an extraordinary community.

The Rex Community continues to inspire us. The musicians, the audiences at our events, and the donations, big or small, that we receive year-round all support us in ways beyond their monetary value; they demonstrate that, together, this community keeps showing that when we put our hearts and minds together, we can make a positive impact in the world we live in.

Lastly, and most importantly, to the over 1400 grantees that Rex has supported, you are the driving force behind what we do and a direct reflection of the community we are all part of. The work that these organizations undertake is extensive and meaningful. If you haven’t already, visit the grantee section of our website to see firsthand the groups you have helped support!

Thanks to Bob Minkin and Jay Blakesberg for the photos!
