2008 Dance & Fundraiser

What a great event!

 

This year's main Fundraiser was a huge success. Read more about it below, but check back often as we add information from that night -- including photos, donor info and totals of money raised.

 

A special thanks to Dave Lageschulte. Not only did he donate several valuable auction items, but he has pledged to match every dollar raised! Thanks Dave.

 

2008 attendees enjoyed an unsurpassed evening of bounty and music, but the main attraction may have been the 100+ items of incredible value in the auction … some one-of-a-kind, native items. Here’s just a small sampling of items.

• Golf Tournament for 4 in Ft. Lauderdale with all the extras
• One-of-a-kind hand-crafted leather necklace made from African trade beads
• Tanzanian Batik
• An all-inclusive Ft. Lauderdale for 4 adventure
• Hand-carved olivewood Nativity from Bethlehem
• Four Brickyard 400 tickets
• Brunch for 12 – cooked right in your home
• Ebony carvings from Ghana

This year's emphasis was on ART. The amazing talents was on display from local and nationally renowned artist including Janiece Bergland, Gary Kelly, Tracy Sweet, Arthur Frick, Oscar Witham, John McGee, Lynn Montague, Dennis Peterka, Tim Coombs and many, many more. There were dozens of items available for as little as $5 or $10... and as much as thousands... but all were exceptional values for an exceptional cause. Proceeds from this event fund Self-Help International's Infant and Child Feeding Projects in Ghana and Nicaragua.
