Puttin' on the Ritz 2012 was a great
success!
We have so many "thank you's" to give...
Please check our
Program
for full sponsorship recognition.
On Saturday, March 10th
the Active 20-30 Club of Fort Wayne #700 hosted the
16th installment of our Annual fundraiser
Puttin’ on the Ritz
at the beautiful
Fort Wayne Museum of Art.
This was a homecoming for the Fort Wayne Club as our
inaugural Puttin’ on the Ritz was held at the Museum
of Art in March of 1997 and it is amazing how each
of us have grown over the past fifteen years. As the
Museum has expanded and grown so has the membership,
reach and impact of our Club in the community. This
growth has been made possible by our sponsors,
community partners and by you, our supporters.
Throughout the evening over 200 guests indulged in gourmet
cuisines from
Club Soda,
Fresh Market
and
Fort Wayne Chocolate
Fountain while they danced the
night away to the sweet sounds of
Chris Worth & Company.
Club Soda was also on hand to provide beverages
throughout the evening while
Elegant Occasions
gave guests the opportunity to sample multiple wines
from local wineries.
We were happy to offer over seventy live and silent
auction items from local companies, artist,
individuals and Club members. The silent auction
kept guest engaged as they tried to vie for the item
of their desire while the live auction, handled by
http://www.eoonline.com,
kept everyone entertained. For those that prefer a
game of chance we also offered up our signature bar
raffle where winner takes all on the pull of a
single ticket. And who could possibly forget the
beautiful centerpiece flower arrangements from
Lillian Rose Flowers?
The Active 20-30 Club would not be able to impact the number
of children that we currently do without the support
of our community. It may be a single night out on
the town for you, but the funds that you help us
raise can change a child’s entire future. Thank you
so much for your support and we hope to see you at
the 17th Annual Puttin’ on the Ritz on Saturday,
March 9, 2013! |
