Fundraiser in support of "For The Seventh Generation" promises to be a memorable night filled with auctions and awareness-raising
(1888PressRelease) April 17, 2009 - Park West Foundation will host "In Seventh Heaven", the second annual fundraiser benefiting "For The Seventh Generation". The event will take place on Saturday, April 25th at 6 p.m. at Park West Gallery, 29469 Northwestern Highway in Southfield, Michigan. The highlight of the night already filled with community, arts, music, food and wine will be two auctions: a silent auction of unique items that can be viewed throughout the event and a live auction featuring among other items works of art donated by Albert Scaglione, founder and CEO of Park West Gallery, and his wife Mitsie Scaglione, executive director of Park West Foundation.
Tickets are $75 each or $600 for ten and can be purchased in advance at http://seventhheaven.cmarket.com. Ticket sales coupled with the funds raised from the auctions will allow "For The Seventh Generation" to hire some much needed administrative personnel so that it can continue to effectively provide its service of connecting children who are wards of the court with the volunteers who can best meet their unique needs.
