 The Rotary Club of Naperville, Sunrise, known for its unique fundraising events, is hosting Naperitaville so named because this year it will be Naperville’s biggest indoor Beach Party. The headline band will be “Heartache Tonight” and feature music from Jimmy Buffett, The Eagles and others great artists. There will be complimentary drinks and gourmet food from Naperville’s finest chefs, all in a unique warehouse setting turned beach front.

Naperpalooza 3 was held on Saturday, February 20th from 6 pm ‘til midnight. The primary goal of this fundraiser is help solve the problems associated with autism in our community. Accordingly, proceeds will go to Turning Pointe Autism Foundation and Little Friends, both in Naperville. In addition money will be given to support our Tikondane projects in Zambia, Africa, as well as local need-based Pursuit of Life education scholarships.

Event Chair Kevin Glynn describes the event as very different from traditional fundraising affairs.  “Naperpalooza is a broad-based charitable party designed to appeal to the generosity of Naperville’s citizens; with a heavy emphasis on the party component.  This event is intended to make a substantial contribution to Sunrise Rotary’s beneficiaries, but certainly not at the expense of having fun!  Grab your sunglasses and bring your friends, bring your adult kids, and bring your old college roommates for great food, great music and a great cause.  Naperpalooza has become an event that our Naperville community will be excited to attend and proud to contribute to for years to come.”

All inclusive tickets to Naperpalooza are $140 per person in advance and include entertainment and dancing, beer, wine, specialty drinks and soft drinks as well as gourmet buffet selections from area restaurants and caterers.
