Last Saturday we held Spotlight on SPARC at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. The night, themed "When I Grow Up," featured performances from SPARC's Touring Ensemble and Showstoppers programs as well as esteemed guest, American Idol golden ticket winner, and SPARC alumna Carrie Brockwell. The event, which included a live auction and donation paddle raise, ran concurrently with the final hours of our week long silent auction. We are pleased to announce that we exeeded our fundraising goals, raising over $57,000! We want to thank everyone who made the week of fundraising possible, especially all of our incredible auction partners.
