Why Attend?


Glad you asked! Here’s what’s in store for you:

·Food: Creative, delicious, and hearty appetizer buffet by award-winning chefs (and long-standing auction angels) Thierry Rautureau of Rover’s/Luc and John Platt of St. Clouds restaurants. And wait till you see the charming student servers expertly working the room with platters of something new and delicious to try, every time you turn around!
·   
 Drink: Beverages included—wine and soft drinks.  Cocktails available at a cash bar.  
·     
Entertainment: A range of talented student performance groups that you can’t usually see all at one event, including musicians, actors, a new student video, and more!   The ShowBox has an outstanding sound system and video monitors along the walls.  
·    
 Dessert Dash: A GORGEOUS array of desserts greets guests as they enter—for bidding on later!
·     
Silent and Live AuctionsChoices, options, diverse offerings! Something for everyone, so come and browse. We have some really exciting items this year, including more of the popular Evenings for the Curious salon series, so watch for previews on our website and in the Notes.


New for this year:  an after-auction party featuring live music and dancing, from 10 pm to midnight.
·   
 AND—It’s a Really Fun NightRun into old friends, make some new ones, wander on your own through the auction items while listening to the music (keeping an eye out for those platter-wielding students, of course), then look around and appreciate the beautiful space and the combined energy of all these people, here to support the success of Garfield and our students!

Fun, food, and fabulous-ness—all for $60/person. Less than you’d pay for a similar evening out!
