October 11, 2012,
at Longfellows

A unique fundraiser to benefit our after-school prevention program


From 6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m.

Come to Longfellows for this one-of-a-kind event and get nostalgic about your college days.  This academic-inspired evening will allow event-goers to register for “classes” with talented local professionals, who will act as “professors” by donating their time to teach a class (classes will be scheduled for a later date, so bring your calendar).

 Attendees who sign up for classes will pay the “registration fee”, but instead of paying the “professor”, all proceeds will benefit Project Lift.  It’s a great way to sign up for a topic that interests you, while also making a difference in the lives of local kids!  (Please note: the classes will have a set fee with a designated number of slots available for attendees [it will vary by class].  It is not a bidding war.  Once the slots are full, the class will be pulled.  Sign-up will be on a first-come, first-served basis.)

 Tickets are priced at $75 for the event, which includes beer, wine, music by KID DJ and food by Longfellows.

 Traditional silent, live and mission based auctions will also be held.

 

 DON’T FORGET: After you submit your form, you have to go back and hit the “donate” button to enter your payment information.
