Supporting Boulder City Students and the Community
The Würst Festival is Boulder City Sunrise Rotary’s annual fundraising project. Proceeds support the organization’s community programs and activities.
One of its largest projects is the alcohol- and drug-free All Night Graduation Party for graduating Boulder City High School seniors. The celebration provides students with a fun, supervised place to gather while helping keep young adults safe on graduation night.
By purchasing food and drinks, shopping with vendors, participating in the auction, donating or sponsoring the festival, attendees help Sunrise Rotary continue this project and other community initiatives.
Donations, Sponsorships and Vendors
Boulder City Sunrise Rotary accepts sponsorships and auction-item donations throughout the year. Individuals and businesses interested in supporting the fundraiser can submit their information through the official donation form.
The festival also seeks food vendors whose menus complement the bratwursts and hot dogs sold by Sunrise Rotary. Other types of vendors are not currently being solicited.
Questions about donations, sponsorships or food-vendor opportunities can be directed to the organizer through the Boulder City Sunrise Rotary contact page.
