Sol House Festival 2015
Donation protected
~ 2015 is going to cost approximately $2309+ ~
Sol House was thought up by a group of soulful house DJs in the spring of 2014. It was a simple concept in the beginning; to play Soulful, Classic, and Afro House at Lake Merritt for friends and family. What transpired the day of the event was something much more deep and connected to the community. What was planned for about 45 friends, ended up creating a family of over 500 people. All ages, all races, all creeds & genders ALL DANCING TOGETHER.
Some of the Bay Areas best House DJ's donated their passion for the music and played for everyone that day.
It was held on July 5th (Saturday) 2014 and we promised to come back July 4th (Saturday) 2015. Here's where YOU come in.
Last year's event cost about $1500 to produce. Most of that money went on Taj's credit card (of which he is still paying off). This year's event is going to cost approximately $2309+.
Taj ain't got that, folks...
So we are asking for your help. If you can give $5 or $50 or even a random number like $3.57 or $35.70 we'd appreciate it. We set the goal low because we'd be happy with just any help, but the reality is that we truly need about $2309 + a little for the unforeseeables.
All the DJ's involved donate their time and passion to play. We don't sell anything at the event. We give out free bottled water. This is event is truly about the music and we seek not to gain a penny. But it would be nice to not have to spend our own "holiday savings" to make it happen.
Sol House 2015 HAS TO HAPPEN! Below is a list of our costs:
Park Permit: $1005
Rental Truck for Sound Equipment: $123
Power Generator: $154
Small Riser (stage): $75 < after partial sponsorship
Event Banner: $75
DJ Gear Rental (Mixer etc.): $550
3 Porta Potties: $327
Unforeseeables: $???
The above items are our most basic needed items to make this year happen. Whatever you can do will help. We want you to know exactly where the money needed is going. Maybe you want to donate a specific amount to cover a specific item.
