February 6, 2012 by Executive Director ·
More than $11,300 was raised to support the Gateway Area Chapter at the 8th Annual Luau, the chapter’s largest annual fundraiser, on Friday, March 30, 2012 at Rastrelli’s Tuscany Special Events Center. The event featured Hawaiian-themed food and an evening filled with live music and entertainment by Coupe DeVille – the Cadillac of Rock & Roll, a silent auction, a dessert auction, 50/50 raffle – and we can’t forget the Hawaiian costume contest!
Thanks to all attendees, sponsors, and contributors! It was a GREAT event – raising much needed funding for the American Red Cross.
