Hats Off to YOU!
More than 250 people packed the Gutierrez Studios at Clipper Mill on April 14, 2012 for the most successful fundraiser in the Family Center’s 16-year history. Party goers arrived donned in festive hats sipping champagne and feasted on delicious food and drinks (the evening was catered by The Pantry, desserts by Carey’s Fine Foods, libations by The Wine Source) and enjoyed the sounds of Cris Jacobs and the Hampden All-Stars.
There was something for everyone — grab bags were available to purchase with such treats as gift cards to local establishments in addition to raffle tickets for a chance to win an iPad, BOSE iPod docking station or Kindle Fire. Sponsorships were available for those who wanted to send a child to summer camp for a week.
Guests enjoyed bidding on the many silent and live auction items. Bidders of the live auction left with tickets to see Madonna or Coldplay in DC and a beautiful diamond necklace.
But no one left empty-handed — all guests received a complimentary bag of “Our Signature Pretzels” thanks to Carey’s Fine Foods.
The funds raised that evening will be used to support the programs and services of the center. The event would have been impossible with out the tremendous support of our sponsors and the generosity of those who donated in-kind goods and services.
