Park West Gallery Co-Sponsors Benefit for Kids
Art and Bachelor/Bachelorette Charity Auction Raises Money for Back-to-School Supplies
Southfield, MI, August 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- On Thursday, July 19th, Park West Gallery co-sponsored the Nordstrom Network’s 11th annual Happy Hour to benefit Children’s Home Society of Florida’s Back-to-School Drive. The event was attended by over 120 people, and featured a live Art and Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction.
Park West Gallery donated artwork for the auction and Park West Executive Vice President Stoney Goldstein was the guest auctioneer. 100% of the auction proceeds will go to purchase back-to-school supplies.
“The artwork provided by Park West for the live auction was higher end than the items we typically receive,” said Sylvia Rosenwasser, Director of Development for Children’s Home Society of Florida. “Stoney was a blessing. His high energy and professional manner as an auctioneer, as well as his artistic ability in displaying the art helped kick our fundraising efforts over the top!”
“The combination of generous supporters, fantastic artwork, and an amazing cause like Children’s Home Society made this an exceptional evening,” said Mr. Goldstein. “And I have to admit, the bachelor and bachelorette auction was a lot of fun. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll get invited to a wedding.”
The event also honored long time Children’s Home Society supporter Todd Nordstrom with a special award of recognition. Rosenwasser presented the award to Nordstrom on behalf of CHS, with the inscription “Our eternal thanks for your 11 years of dedication to our children.”
