Wow! What a fantastic show of support on Saturday night! SHAKE OUT was a huge success. We are still processing final donations and outstanding bills, but we are estimating a record breaking $100,000 in net proceeds!
Some of the highlights were: Delicious food and signature drinks were served cocktail party-style throughout the whole venue which allowed for plenty of time and space to mingle with new and old friends!
We were honored to have a record number of sponsors this year: Black Pig, Christopher Farm & Gardens, Dr. Brian Obrochta & Family, Dr. Nicholas Draeger & Family, Just Kids Dental, NAI Pfefferle, Guske Electric, Morgan Stanley/The North Point Group, CIBM Mortgage, Summit Credit Union, CPI Plastics, Inc, Delzer Lithograph, Signature Dental, and BankFirst.Pre-recorded entertainment featured staff, students, and our emcees, Ben Igowsky and Jessie Edwards as not one, but two James Bonds!
Our game stations of Pick-an-Olive, Bond Girl Match Game, James Bond Trivia, Mystery Jewelry Raffle, and "Secret Message", provided fun activities to do throughout the cocktail hour. We sold 946 pre-event raffle tickets! An unbelievable assortment and quantity of silent auction items.Awesome live auction items and class projects! 304 in attendance. You missed it? Be sure to join the fun next year!
The support for the event was overwhelming and indicative of how LCA families and community members work tirelessly together to meet our mission to bring the best education possible to our students. For those who donated, attended, purchased auction items, volunteered, solicited donations, and purchased and sold raffle tickets, THANK YOU!
