All For The Hall 2014
All For The Hall, the annual fundraiser for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, will make a trip to Los Angeles this year after a nearly three year absence. The yearly campaign, a non-bricks-and-mortar fundraiser, made its first appearance in 2005. It addresses the museum’s need for long-term financial security and helps to provide a safety net for the institution and its work. This is the seventh year that the museum has taken its "annual giving" event on the road, hosting previous All for the Hall events in New York in 2007, 2008 and 2013, and in Los Angeles in 2009-11.
In a press release, Museum Director Kyle Young talked about the decision to return to the west coast, saying, "California, with its rich country music history, has proven to be a supremely appropriate and welcoming location for this event. In fact, some of the state’s contributions to our genre are the subject of our very popular limited-engagement exhibition, The Bakersfield Sound: Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and California Country, whose run we’ve extended through the end of 2014. Los Angeles has always given our All for the Hall event a very warm welcome, and we look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones in March."
Scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at Club Nokia at L.A. LIVE, will be hosted by Rita Wilson. The entertainment for the evening will center around a good old Nashville guitar pull with none other than Country Music Hall of Fame members Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Heart and Grammy Award-winning artist Jason Mraz swapping songs, stories and personal anecdotes.
Tickets to the event are tax deductible charitable contributions and are priced to fit every budget. Balcony seats for the performance only run between $49.50 and $125. VIP tickets, which include entrance to the cocktail reception, dinner, and performance, are $1000 a ticket, with Gold Table seating for 10 guests running $10,000 per table and Platinum Table seating for 10+ guests topping out at $25,000. Gold and platinum table packages also include invitations to the VIP Pre-Event Reception, which will be held at a private home in Los Angeles and several other wonderful goodies.
