3rd Annual RRAZZiversary Gala Celebration & Benefit For St Jude Children's Research Hospital is a special night to celebrate the premier nightclub of the West Coast. Located in the lobby level of Hotel Nikko San Francisco, the RRAZZ room offers a variety of headline entertainment seven nights a week. An intimate, acoustically perfect, and sophisticated setting, the RRAZZ room seats just under 200. The programming is as eclectic as it is top-notch. On any given night, expect to see Oscar, Emmy, Tony and Grammy winners as well as rising Bay Area stars. As one customer recently stated, "I'm from the East Coast, and the RRAZZ room is one place where nightlife in San Francisco feels like New York."
Not just another gala celebration, but an opportunity to help change lives across the world.
Since they opened the doors to the RRAZZ room, Kotonly and Paull have donated a portion of their annual gala celebration proceeds to non-profit organizations: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (2009), Haiti Relief (2010) and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (2011). When late entertainer
Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude Children's Hospital in 1962, he not only changed the lives of those children who walked through its doors, he changed lives across the world.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering research and treatment for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Ranked the No. 1 pediatric cancer hospital by Parents magazine and the No. 1 children's cancer hospital by U.S. News & World Report, St. Jude is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. http://www.stjude.org
