Today, Insomniac, the production team behind North America’s largest dance music festival, Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Las Vegas, announced the launch of the fourth annual EDC Week Charity Initiative, in partnership with online fundraising platform Surreal. Offering fans the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes to win a variety of unparalleled experiences at EDC Las Vegas 2018, the funds raised from this year’s initiative will benefit the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, a magnet arts high school that provides students the opportunity to pursue conservatories in dance, music, theater, or visual arts.
Now through May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT at givesurreal.com/edc, fans can enter for the chance to win one of nine prize packages, where each winner will be chosen at random. Participants will have the option to donate $5 for one ticket, $20 for five tickets, and $100 for 50 tickets for the chance to experience the Ultimate VIP weekend at EDC Las Vegas. In addition, fans can choose a bundle pack donation for $25, which includes one entry into every experience offered or, for $50, 10 entries into each of the experiences.
“This year’s EDC Week Charity Initiative is packed with curated, once-in-a-lifetime experiences for our fans, and our partners at Surreal will help make the process easy and affordable so everyone has a chance to win,” says Insomniac Founder & CEO Pasquale Rotella. “I’m very excited for the opportunity to raise as much money as we can for the amazingly creative and passionate kids at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts.”
In addition to opportunities to meet some of the biggest artists on the EDC Las Vegas lineup, all nine once-in-a-lifetime packages centered on Insomniac and every stage at the festival include:
2 VIP passes* to EDC Las Vegas 2018 (or GA, if both winner and guest are not 21+)
