Bonnes Meres to hold Annual Benefit for At-Risk Youth

The Bonnes Meres Auxiliary of The Children’s Fund will hold their Annual Auction fundraiser Nov. 13 at 10 a.m. at the National Orange Show, 689 S. "E" Street, San Bernardino, and you are invited. This year’s theme, Inspire Hearts, will be actualized throughout all aspects of the event from the striking décor to the delicious luncheon offerings, to the keynote speaker, Dr. Clare Sheridan-Matney, Medical Director of the Children's Assessment Center whose inspirational address will focus on the organization’s work in the community. In addition, attendees may elect to participate in the event’s noteworthy silent auction – a full room of unique and valuable finds. In addition, they may choose the opportunity drawing for many outstanding prizes including a $1,000 Fashion Island Shopping Spree, a Tory Birch Handbag, a Gift Card Topiary valued at over $500, a Ladies' Michael Kors watch and matching bracelet, an IPad Air, and a beautiful, theme-inspired table setting for eight. As in years past, the charming Martha Green will serve as emcee for the popular live auction portion of the event which will feature both one-of-a-kind items and priceless experiences. And this year, Mary Dropkin, harpist for the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra, will provide her considerable talents to create an ethereal, seasonally festive ambiance. Last year’s Annual Auction raised $90,000 for The Children's Fund, and event chair Terrie DeMuth hopes to eclipse that number with this year’s event which she sees as a particularly significant regional effort. “With aspirations to ‘Inspire Hearts,’ our Annual Auction serves as a platform to give hope, encourage dreams, instill brighter tomorrows, and touch lives of thousands of at-risk children in our community in a positive way,” said DeMuth. Bonnes Meres Auxiliary President Kristin Bryan Pierce agrees, citing the pivotal role of volunteer participants. “The annual luncheon and auction is our largest fundraiser and the women of Bonnes Meres have worked so hard to put on a fabulous event and this year is no exception. I am so excited to see all the amazing live and silent auction items this year. I am thrilled to be a part of such an amazing organization.” Tickets to the Annual Auction are $65 each and may be obtained by contacting Reservations Chair Melissa Koss at mbkoss3@gmail.com.
