Appetite for Life
Benefit: February 12, 2010
The
6th Annual "Appetite for Life" Gala was held Friday, February 12, 2010,
at the Metropolitan Ballroom & Clubroom in Minneapolis, MN. This
interactive, all-star cooking class, silent auction and culinary event
raises funds for the Another Chance for Life Fund, which provides
scholarships to individuals and families seeking treatment, recovery and
a better quality of life from their gambling addiction. 100% of the
event proceeds solely benefit patient and family aid.
The event was once
again hosted by Chefs Larry D'Amico and Seth Bixby Daugherty and WCCO
Radio Personality Sue Zelickson. Entertainment was provided by the Benny
Weinbeck Orchestra and a Special Celebrity Appearance by Matt Blair
rounded out the list of All-Star Personalities associated with the
evening.
Project Turnabout is
pleased to announce that the 2010 event was our biggest and brightest to
date. Raising in excess of $70,000.00 for the Another Chance for Life
Fund! Because of our supporters we will be able to help even more
patients and families in need of scholarship assistance. Since the
Vanguard Program for Compulsive Gambling began, over 2,500 gamblers have
been helped. In the last three years, over 300 individuals and families
have benefited from scholarship assistance. Thank you!
SAVE THE DATE! The 7th
Annual Appetite for Life will be held February 18, 2011.
