BCE art auction set for Oct. 23
Mark your calendar now and save Saturday, Oct. 23, for the second annual art auction and dinner to benefit the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs (BCE).
The evening will begin with an hour to preview the auction and enjoy drinks from a cash bar, include an elegant dinner, and culminate with the auction featuring work from local artists.
This year, BCE organizers are hosting a juried show of some 30 pieces of art. They are also seeking donors to match the gavel price of one or more items, as an added incentive to bidders.
The event offers a fun and rewarding way to support local business development through the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs. The auction gives local residents and business owners the opportunity to mingle with BCE board members, executive director, and clients.
Last year's event raised nearly $7,000, making it the single most important BCE fundraiser in 2009. Anonymous donors contributed $3,200 in matching funds to that total.
The auction and dinner will be held at The Centre in Bluffton. Tickets for the dinner and auction are $50 each or $300 for a table of eight. They are available at the BCE office and from board member Dick McGarrity.
For more information, call the BCE office at 419-358-6400 or contact Mr. McGarrity at 419-369-4216 or e-mail [email protected].
