Tickets are divided into two categories, “Dasher” which cost $100 and “Spectator” which cost $50.
The fundraiser will feature 50 local artists from throughout the nine counties that are serviced by Serenity, all of whom have donated original artwork worth at least $100.
After the “Art Preview”, three attendees who have purchased “Dasher” tickets will be randomly selected to dash for an art piece of their choosing. Every “Dasher” will have the opportunity to go home with an art piece.
“Spectators” will not have the opportunity to “Dash” for art. Both “Dashers” and “Spectators” will be able to enjoy live music, light bites, view the art and mingle with many of the artists.
Funds raised will be used to help continue to provide care and free, ongoing bereavement services.
