Art Auction to support Garden City Nursery School and Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids TONIGHT

Garden City Nursery School Art Auction to Support Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids Tonight!

The Garden City Nursery School proudly announces the 2014 Art Auction will be held on Friday, March 14th at the Garden City Casino located at 51 Cathedral Avenue in Garden City.  A special preview of art pieces begins at 7:00 p.m. and the live auction will begin at 8:00 p.m.  The live auction will be  hosted by Arin Ross and will feature oils, watercolors, lithographs, sports memorabilia, music memorabilia and much more! There will also be door prizes and raffles.

Admission is $20 for  one adult and $30 for two adults with wine, beer, and hors d'oeuvres included in the ticket purchase.  Tickets can be purchased at the door.  There is no obligation to buy art.  Just come  and see old friends and meet new friends, while supporting the Garden City Nursery School, an innovator in cooperative education among two, three, and four year old children in Garden City for over fifty years.

A portion of the proceeds from this spectacular event will support the Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids, the largest outpatient facility for treating children with cancer and blood disorders in Nassau County.  The Center's skilled and compassionate pediatric oncology and hematology professionals are specially trained to diagnose and treat the entire spectrum of pediatric malignancies and blood diseases.  Embodying principles of patient and family-centered care, they not only provide young patients with comprehensive, sensitive care, they also help families endure some very tough times, offering support, treatment and follow-up care.

A representative from Winthrop's Cancer Center for Kids will give a brief speech on the center during the preview hour, and Garden City's own Bobby Menges will speak on the importance of the Center and share his own personal story.

Don't miss this fun cultural, social, and philanthropic night out to support two very important child-centered organizations.  Call 516-481-7765 or visit www.gcns.org for more information.
