PLEASE NOTE that fundraiser tickets are only available in advance - they will not be sold at the door. ALSO, because there are a limited number of tickets available to the event, if you wish to donate but do not plan to attend, please select the "donate" button rather than purchasing tickets that you won't use.
This promises to be a highly enjoyable evening for a very lovely family and a very lovely girl!
Some background if you haven't read previous posts: the Community for Kate initiative to raise funds for 2 1/2 year old Kate Drury demonstrates exactly how friends and neighbours in a community can pull together to make a difference. Kate is a lovely little girl who suffers from a number of severe health problems including developmental delays and complete hearing loss. On June 7 from 6:30 - 9:30 the Blue Cactus restaurant in the market will be hosting an evening of hors d'oevres, cocktails, a silent auction and raffle in an effort to support her and her family.
