A Better Chance Westport
Tuesday, March 22, 2011
The 7th Annual Dream Event benefiting A Better Chance of Westport Scholars is this Saturday night.
The event promises an evening of sumptuous food, exciting entertainment, with highlights including the vast, incredible opportunities and items that will be offered in both live and silent auctions.
When: Saturday, March 26 from 6:30 - 10:30 PM
Where: Westport’s Unitarian Church
Proceeds from the evening will benefit ABC of Westport, the non-profit program dedicated to helping motivated students of color from educationally disadvantaged areas. The program, which selects students from more than 2,000 candidates who demonstrate potential for academic excellence and leadership in life, offers the students the opportunity to live in the Westport community – at the ABC House on North Avenue - during the school year, attend Staples High School, engage with Westport’s residents and participate in the town’s activities.
ABC gives its young scholars a better chance while allowing Westport to share the community’s resources, to support the program’s purpose and to benefit from its diversity.
Along with traditional auction items, other items expected include once-in-a-lifetime opportunities such as sunset cruises, great tickets to Broadway shows and pro sports events, and weeklong usage of ski and vacation homes.
