Rockin’ Rosie
Rockin’ Rosie is The Rose Theater Guild’s annual fundraising event, typically hosted in early spring. Each year, the event rocks a different theme, and attendees let out their inner performer by dressing up and cutting loose. The event includes dinner, dancing, silent and live auctions and fabulous fun.
All funds raised through Rockin’ Rosie support educational programs that our staff lead at our locations as well as onsite in classrooms throughout our community.
Thank you to our 2025 Rockin’ Rosie sponsors, donors, and attendees! Watch our social media channels for details about our 2026 Rockin’ Rosie event!
