The Chorus of Westerly to hold Annual Gala at the Haley Mansion
The Chorus of Westerly invites the public to join them for a magical Gala evening to raise critical funds for the not-for-profit arts organization on Thursday June 2, 2016 from 5:30 to 9pm at the Haley Mansion, Inn at Mystic, 3 Williams Avenue in Mystic, Connecticut. Tickets are available at chorusofwesterly.org, by calling 401.596.8663, or at the Kent Hall Box Office, 119 High Street, Westerly.
The annual Gala is the Chorus of Westerly???s largest fundraising event of the year. The 2016 benefit will be held for the first time at the picturesque Haley Mansion, a Colonial Revival mansion built in 1904.
The evening will begin with a cocktail reception at 5:30pm where guests will have the chance to mingle, participate in ???The Chorus in Bloom,??? an innovative way for donors to help the Chorus grow, and step outside and enjoy breathtaking views of the sea. The cocktail reception will be followed by dinner prepared by the talented Harbour House culinary staff, a special performance by the Chorus of Westerly children and a live auction comprised of unique getaway experiences including trips to Italy and South Africa.?? ??
???The Chorus in Bloom??? is a new opportunity this year for donors to help the Chorus reach its fundraising goals for 2016. During the cocktail reception and throughout the evening guests will be able to create a beautiful centerpiece for their table, by picking their own bouquet of fresh flowers for a donation of their choosing. How it works: guests can select a donation amount to add a bloom of their choice to their centerpiece arrangement. The more blooms added to a bouquet, the more the Chorus grows. As the garden is picked during the evening, a special picture of the Chorus will be revealed, creating a powerful image of the generous support the Chorus of Westerly receives from the community. ??
All proceeds from the Gala event benefit the Chorus of Westerly’s ongoing community music and outreach programs, as well as its performance programs such as the Symphonic Concert Series, Christmas Pops, Summer Pops, the Collegiate Concert Series, and others.
Tickets for the Gala are $125, and a portion of the ticket cost is tax-deductible. Table Sponsor opportunities are also available for $1250, and include a table for eight persons and corporate sponsor benefits. To reserve your ticket call 401.596.8663 or visit chorusofwesterly.org by May 25th.
