Throughout the evening, people are invited to visit the silent auc-

on the course, bid high and often for your chance to win great
packages at the auction! You’ll be able to vie for vacation pack-

local eateries, salons, art suppliers, theater and sporting events

At 7 p.m., the party kicks into another gear when the band hits the
stage. Hailing from Las Vegas, the Pop Rebels have opened for a
variety of big names and are guaranteed to fill the dance floor playing
their curated mix of dance, R & B, rock and roll, and party music.

When we say that this will be the party of the year, we truly mean it.

It’s super easy to understand why we passionately work to raise
funds for CASA of Jackson County. The organization of judge-
appointed, rigorously trained volunteer advocates help abused and
neglected children through the legal and social services systems.
These volunteers stay with each case until the child is placed in a
safe, permanent home. For many of these children, their CASA
will be the one constant, positive adult presence in their lives.

The Asante Foundation is part of a long history of community
Anniversar donors who come together to promote and support Asante’s
mission and guiding values to provide lifesaving and sustainable
healthcare in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Donors
of all types who contribute to Asante Foundation have a significant
tastes like spring is here impact on the health and wellbeing of patients young and old.

There is still time to donate, sponsor, volunteer, and participate.
The Medford BMW Southern Oregon Classic will be the biggest
event of the summer and you won’t want to miss out. So save the
dates, June 24 and 25. Together we can make a difference. See you
on the dance floor!
