Kewanee Schools Foundation is gearing up for “An Evening with The Great Gatsby” event to be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, at Midland Golf Club in Kewanee.
The goal of the event is to celebrate the Foundation’s donors over the last 35 years for their support to the Kewanee School District, as well as raise $25,000 for an outdoor fitness court at Kewanee High School and the Foundation’s Unrestricted Fund, which supports the areas of greatest need.
As part of the “An Evening with The Great Gatsby” event, the Foundation is planning to auction live and silent auction packages. (There is something for everyone. Some of the live auction trips must be booked within a year of the purchase. The actual travel date must occur within two years of the purchase date.)
The evening will include a social hour and plated dinner, and will feature live musical entertainment provided by Five Bridges Jazz, sponsored by Dr. Jeffrey and Pamela Johnson. This will be followed by a short program, prior to the live auction. Bidding on the silent auction trips will continue for most of the evening. The general public is invited and encouraged to attend. Tickets purchased by March 31 are $60 each and $65 each after that date. Registrations will be accepted until April 6.
