The Center Seeks Auction Contributions

The Center is searching for contributions to its silent auction at a benefit to be held on Thursday, Feb. 24, at 7:30 p.m. at Hackney's restaurant, 12300 S. LaGrange Road, Palos Park.

The event, known as "A Night to Linger," is held as a benefit for The Center summer camp program.  The evening will include a silent auction, raffle, hors d' oeuvres, slideshow of past camp summers and opportunities for sharing memories of camp at The Center.

The evening's proceeds will benefit the camp scholarship fund, which helps send children to camp who would otherwise be financially unable to attend. Each summer scholarships are granted to one third of the 160 children and teens who attend the two-week camp, which immerses them in a world of nature, horses, new friends, group living, and outdoor fun at The Center's Childrens Farm.   

Donations of items or services for the auction should be delivered to The Center, 12700 Southwest Highway.
