Greetings!
Our charity partner, Special Olympics Area 11, is having a TOGA PARTY the night before the run! It is sure to be a great time for an even greater cause.
Here’s a little more info.:
Date: Friday, October 28, 2011
Time: 7:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.
Location: EVE at the B.O.B.
With many thanks to all the volunteers and community support that made it possible, The Festival of Trees Gala, which was a longstanding holiday kick-off within our community, has been retired. Special Olympics Michigan Area 11 is very excited to announce a brand new event with a fun and lively nature that West Michigan will love. This toga party will incorporate fun aspects of Greek culture and, of course, the Olympics!
There are two main components:
Togas are highly encouraged for the costume contest and photo booth! Both Special Olympics Michigan athletes and all members of the community know how to have fun, so let’s do it together. That evening, a limited number of local Special Olympic athlete-created fine art pieces will be sold in a live auction. Other athlete-created art will be featured in an online auction. For many athletes, creating their own works of art will be a new experience and an opportunity to let their undiscovered talents shine in a new arena. The community is invited to participate in this process of art creation during a few soon to be announced lead-up events.
So save the date, get a toga, and Let’s TOGA for Special Olympics, West Michigan!
Sound like fun?? I think so too!
Let’s TOGA on Friday night and chase The Headless Horseman on Saturday night! What a super weekend…. :)
