Ferndale Golden Eagles Booster Club is planning a community dinner and auction in Ferndale for Saturday, June 22nd. Proceeds from the “Saturday Night Lights” event will go to support Ferndale High School academics, activities, arts and athletics programs.
Organizers say their goal is to host 500 attendees and raise $200,000 at the outdoor event in Pioneer Park under “the big white tent.”
Organizers have created several sponsorship opportunities for businesses to be involved in what organizers say will become an annual event. They include a variety of marketing and advertising opportunities. Interested businesses are invited to contact Auction Chair Carol Brumet via email to cbrumet@peacehealth.org or by phone by calling (360) 788-8220 or Booster Club President, John Cruikshank at johnc@skagitbank.com or by phone at (360) 255-5389.
