Rockin’ Bash 2 returns to Naples to support Legal Aid Service of Collier County
Rockin’ Bash 2 is back and bolder than ever, bringing an evening of music, community and purpose to benefit Legal Aid Service of Collier County’s mission of providing free civil legal services to vulnerable residents.
Scheduled for Thursday, April 30, at 6:30 p.m., the event will take place at The Maddox, a members-only club located at 2955 Bayshore Drive in Naples. The night features a live performance by the Mark Telesca Band, an interactive dinner and opportunities to support justice through community engagement.
Rockin’ Bash 2 invites attendees to celebrate “good vibes with a powerful purpose,” rallying support for Legal Aid’s vital work — from protecting families and securing safe housing to advocating for veterans and ensuring access to justice for those who cannot afford legal representation. The dress code for the evening is resort casual, with guests encouraged to “rock out” in style.
Tickets are $200 per person and include dinner, two complimentary drink tickets and live music, with a cash bar available. All net proceeds benefit the programs and projects operated by Legal Aid Service of Collier County.
In addition to individual tickets, the event offers a range of sponsorship levels — from Presenting and Rock Star sponsors with VIP seating and enhanced visibility to community-oriented options like Drum and Guitar sponsors. Sponsorship benefits include logo placement in event materials, program ads and recognition in digital campaigns.
The evening will also honor the 2026 Major Award winners, recognizing individuals and firms that have made significant contributions to the cause of justice in Collier County:
