Second Chance-Last Opportunity Makes it Easy to Make a Difference
Organization looks forward to annual ’Share The Light’ Fundraiser
Sarasota, FL (August 7, 2007) – As with other non-profit organizations, raising operational funds is a constant challenge that Second Chance-Last Opportunity (SCLO) has approached enthusiastically and creatively for over 12 years.
This grass-roots organization is pleased to be hosting its 11th annual ‘Share The Light’ Luncheon on Thursday, September 27th, 2007 at Michael’s on East and honoring Doris Glick and Tom Siegal. The keynote speaker is Lynn McDonald who is an experienced and nationally known motivational speaker and author. She is adept at helping people make good choices, something that is at the heart of Second Chance’s mission and so the presentation promises to be fun, interactive, and meaningful.
Individual tickets are $50, patron tickets are $75. Lunch at Michael’s, a variety of silent auction items and raffles, testimonials from SCLO clients, Lynn McDonald’s uplifting talk, Cliff Roles generously acting as Master of Ceremonies, and an eclectic mix of guests add up to an unusual and inspiring event not to be missed. Guests will come away seeing what a privilege it is to support such a unique and effective organization as Second Chance and what an important part our two honorees have played. Sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses that would like to benefit from this high profile event while giving back to the community.
WHAT: SCLO’s Share The Light Annual Luncheon
WHY: To share the organization’s mission and vision, and to enable the agency to continue its outreach programs and increase its client base.
WHEN: Thursday, September 27th 2007 at 11:30am
WHERE: Michael’s on East
