FURTHERING A TRADITION OF GRASSROOTS GIVING
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2007 THE WARFIELD THEATRE SAN FRANCISCO Welcome from the Rex Foundation
On December 1, 2001, at the Warfield Theatre, the Rex Foundation launched its renewal with The Healing Power of Music. That night the full house of kindred spirits celebrated the fun of being together, enjoying great music and helping the Rex Foundation continue to fund valued organizations that serve their communities. Thanks to the resounding support over these last 6 years from the entire musical community, individual contributors, corporate sponsors and foundations, the Rex Foundation has distributed $911,000 in grants to 171 programs, along with carrying out new initiatives that foster creativity while also spurring greater awareness about such issues as human rights. Since the first Grateful Dead Rex benefit concert in the spring of 1984, the Rex Foundation has provided $8.2 million in grants to over 1,000 grassroots non-profit programs across the United States and internationally. Tonight, the Rex Foundation once again celebrates at The Warfield, in a hall filled with friends from far and wide. Everyone involved in presenting this event – the musicians and their production team, ticket purchasers, venue staff, in-kind and silent auction contributors, volunteers, event coordination team – has contributed their resources, ingenuity, community spirit and kindness to create this special occasion and support the on-going success of the Rex Foundation. Thank you for being part of this celebration. Together, we are travelers on the Rex Community Caravan furthering what the Grateful Dead started for many years to come. The music never stops. Enjoy the evening. Sandy Sohcot, Executive Director The Rex Foundation Board of Directors Program
