2009 UCC UConn Valentine's Day Fundraising Dinner & Silent Auction

Amazing Turnout on Saturday

Finally somewhat recuperated, I'm pleased to announce almost final numbers from our Fundraising Dinner & Silent Auction from Saturday!

Between the two dinners and take-out, we served almost 200 people, which is by far the most we have ever served in our four years of running the dinner! The silent auction brought in the most money every as well, by almost $900! We raised over $2,600 from the silent auction alone, which is only $500 less than what we raised from the whole dinner last year!

Now for the total amount, so drumroll please.......

Between ticket sales, silent auction, good will offering, and simple donations from the dinner and the day after, we have raised over $5000 from the dinner, nearly $2000 more than last year! This amount exceeded our goal by $1000!

Once we receive all of the money from the silent auction, we'll post the actual amount raised.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT AND SUPPORTED US! WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! I am happy to say that as of today, we are VERY close to our goal of $9000 for the trip!

Thanks again!

Ticket Sales Update!

As of Sunday, Feb 8th (less than a week before the dinner!), we've sold over 120 tickets between the two dinners, which is great! This includes over 15 couples (30 people) of UConn Students, which is amazing!

That said, we still have tickets available, so if interested, make sure to get in touch with us before Thursday!
