First Annual Night At The Rep Fundraiser

 

 

 On November 5, 2013 Arkansas Down Syndrome Association,  Precious Baby Ministries and SW Chance Inc. successfully hosted our first scholarship fundraiser at The Rep in Little Rock.  It was an incredible night with incredible people.

 

The night started at 5:30 with appetizers and silent auction.  We were overwhelmed by the generosity of donations for our silent auction items.  We had over 30 paintings and drawings available from local special needs artists.  These pieces of art were meticulously crafted  and we were pleased to see them draw a lot of interest and good donations for the artists.

 

There are going to be a wonderful group of families selected to receive our first set of scholarships. We will provide more information regarding the scholarship process soon.

 

To all of our special need supporters, God bless you and thank you dearly for making this a success.
