DESCRIPTION
Anchor Center for Blind Children Sunset in the Wild Summer gala fundraising event sponsor, underwriting, and advertising opportunities. Friday, July 31, 2015 | 6 p.m. The Wildlife Experience Liniger Building CU South Denver Parker, CO www.anchorcenterevents.comTRANSCRIPT
As Anchor Center for Blind Children’s premier fundraising event, Sunset in the Wild plays a vital role in helping fund the $2 million annual operating budget for Anchor Center. A time to celebrate this significant cause while enjoying an evening with friends and supporters, this is the annual benefit event not to be missed. This unique, invitation-only fundraiser is steeped in history with origins as a day in the country picnic now in its 19th year. More than 40 volunteer table hosts participate in the event annually, designing individual table décor and centerpieces to awe and inspire, creating an atmosphere like none other. These creative table themes set the stage for fun and range from the extravagant to elegant and even whimsical. Historically referred to as Sunset in the Country, 2015 is reaching to new and exciting heights as the event committee and Anchor Center team take us on a journey into the wilderness with a wild-inspired night of fun to make a difference. The event will take place on Friday, July 31 at 6 p.m. at The Wildlife Experience, also known as the Liniger Building CU South Denver. More than 400 guests enjoy cocktails and dinner surrounded in these festive surroundings. Participants eagerly bid on silent and live auction items in support of Anchor Center, as well as give generously during the event’s special appeal following a featured speaker. In 2014, the event netted more than $369,000 in support of Colorado’s blind and visually impaired children – a new record we hope to surpass this year with your partnership. Thanks to the generosity of our loyal donors, Sunset has raised over $1.8 million for Anchor Center since 2006 alone!
