Omega Events has donated funds and its services to a variety of non-profit partners, including the Surfrider Foundation, the San Onofre Foundation, the Kiwanis Club, the Marine Institute in Dana Point and the Inland Empire Music & Art Foundation.

Omega has created opportunities for aspiring musicians, including partnering with Albertsons to fund a Music in the Schools program at Washington Prep High School in South Central Los Angeles.

Omega Events was founded in 1995 by Rich Sherman, President & CEO, and has continuously operated under his leadership. Prior to establishing Omega Events, Sherman was involved in the production of the Newport Beach Jazz Festival, the Hyatt Newporter's Friday night concert series, the Orange County Blues Festival, various college events and, yesˇ­ a few rodeos! Sherman lives in South Orange County with his wife Pam, daughters Macie & Carly, and enjoys hoop on the weekends, snowboarding and attending concerts.

Ryan Hardin is the Vice-President of Operations of Omega Events, having joined the team in 2001. Hardin's creativity and attention to detail has helped Omega to develop fan-friendly environments at all of its venues. A graduate of the University of Alaska (Fairbanks), Hardin travels frequently, in the off-season of course, and enjoys the proper blend of good friends and great wine.

Everything that occurs onstage is under the control of Pamela Forney, the Production Manager for Omega Events. In addition to her work with Omega, Forney has served as production manager for many celebrated events, such as the KISS-FM Wango Tango and Jingle Ball concerts, the Soboba Casino concert series, and many Wiltern Theatre events.
