Leonardo’s Annual Awards Dinner and Auction is scheduled for March 27 at the museum. The event will feature a silent and live auction, food catered by Cathy Frantz of La Cuisine, and recognition of all 2008 members, donors and volunteers. The event will start at 6:30 p.m.
The Leonardo’s team is working hard at gathering quality auction items for all guests to bid on, but they still need more. Since Leonardo’s is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization operating on a small budget, the silent and live auction are an integral part of their fundraising campaign and any donated items are appreciated. If an item is donated, Leonardo’s will gladly send the donator a form stating the numerical amount given for tax purposes.
Anyone interested in donating a service or item can call Ashley Murphy at 233-2787.
“This is our time to honor friends of Leonardo’s and raise funds for our scholarship program,” said Julie Baird, Executive Director. All proceeds from the event are invested in scholarships and programs for underprivileged families in the community.
“We look forward to seeing everyone at Leonardo’s for this exciting banquet,” said Baird.
For anyone who does not have an item to donate, they can still attend the banquet and bid on an auction item. It is a great way to shop, while still helping out a local organization. Tickets are on sale now.
