Rimrock Ranch to Host Fundraiser for Mojave Desert Land Trust with Award-Winning Artist Ryan Bingham
Pioneertown, CA – Rimrock Ranch, founded in 1947 and located 5 miles from historic Pioneertown, will host a fundraiser for the Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) featuring Academy Award, Grammy Award, and Golden Globe-winning musician Ryan Bingham. Bingham will perform an acoustic set on the 11-acre property to a sold-out limited audience on July 22, 2017. Joshua Tree Coffee Company and Hangar 24 Craft Brewery will also donate coffee and beer, respectively, to the show in support of MDLT.
Rimrock Ranch and MDLT hope to raise awareness among the community and fellow Californians that on April 26, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order instructing the Department of the Interior to review the designation of national monuments under the Antiquities Act. This action directly attacks two California desert national monuments designated in 2016: Sand to Snow and Mojave Trails.
In addition to the two monuments located within the Mojave Desert, the Department of the Interior are also reviewing 25 other land-based national monuments and 5 marine national moments. This period of review is to assess whether previously designated protected lands should remain national monuments or be opened to development.
A minimum of 50% of the profit of the concert will go to MDLT. Guests will enjoy dinner, drinks, a silent auction, and a night of music under the stars—fully able to appreciate the beauty of a summer desert night. Local Musicians will perform during dinner, and Austin McCutchen will open for Ryan Bingham.
Though the concert has sold out, interested parties can still donate to support MDLT. Visit [https://www.mdlt.org/donate] to donate today.
