Our 6th annual Dream Date will take place tomorrow night on Friday, October 28, at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center with all proceeds benefitting The BeeHive of Austin. The BeHive is a free after-school program dedicated to providing a safe haven and academic support to lower-income children while encouraging them to become good citizens. November 17, 2006 marked the launch of the annual fundraiser. With your bidder’s help, we hope to make this event will increase BeeHive’s overall awareness and generate revenue for this worthy cause.
Dream Date is a live auction, where our newest members walk with donated goods and prizes. To make this event possible, we got creative with several budget dilemmas. We held multiple restaurant fundraisers, did profit shares with Schlotzsky's, and Electric Frenchie. We also hosted a bar fundraiser with raised over $1000. Naturally, we sent donation letters to alumni, friends, and family members of our active members. After several months of donation days we were able to obtain some exciting big-ticket items, including an electric guitar donated by Veronica Smith and Coors, a men's Longhorn watch donated by Russell Korman jewelers, and several gift cards from local restaurants shops. This year’s Dream Date wouldn’t have been possible had we not received hundreds of dollars from trusted parents, friends, and alumni. Thank you!
If you have time, please come out tomorrow night at 9:00 P.M. Tickets are $15 at the door, if you haven’t already purchased a wristband. The cost covers margaritas, beer, and appetizers, as well as a live DJ for dancing after the auction has concluded. Help us reach out and support a worthy cause all while having a great time with friends and bidding on some amazing items.
We hope to see you there!
