Be a ‘Big Wig’
to Support the Children’s Museum
I t will be a hair raising experience for this year’s Night at the
Museum fundraiser benefitting the Golisano Children’s Museum
of Naples (C’mon). The adults only event is scheduled for Saturday,
Feb. 7 from 6 to 11:30 p.m. at the 38,000 square foot museum.
The theme for this year is “Big Wigs.” Guests are invited to doff a hairy
cap – long or short, tame or wild, fun or fancy – enjoy live entertainment,
food, drinks, dancing and a live auction along with some of the museum’s
most exciting new interactive programming.
“How much fun it will be to see everyone in crazy wigs,” said Vicki
Tracy, director of The Arlington and this year’s Night at the Museum
chair. “This is going to be one of the most memorable events of the
season.”
Christopher Lombardo, an attorney and chairman of the museum’s
board, said, “Any chance I have to wear a wig, I’m taking it.”
Hors d’oeuvres from local caterers will be served throughout the
museum. In a high-end tent outside, guests will enjoy a wide variety
of everything from meat to fish offered by unique food trucks coming
from Miami just for the evening. A dessert extravaganza will also be
featured.
Nationally acclaimed musicians The Chase Band from North
Carolina will keep people on the dance floor in the entertainment tent,
while a selection of local artists will perform throughout the museum
as well.
Exciting items already acquired for the trendy live auction include
a trip to Greece and a custom piece of jewelry from Los Angeles
based designer Arun Bohra and his Arunashi Fine Jewelry Collection
in partnership with Marissa Collections.
Guests can also see the newest exhibits and explore the 14
interactive galleries with custom programs just for that night.
Tickets are $400 per person and are available now at www.cmon.
org, on the “Big Wigs” Facebook page, or by calling Kim Scardino at
239.260.1714. Sponsorships are also available.
In support of Big Wigs, Marissa Collections will donate a
percentage of all sales from the Arunashi Fine Jewelry Collection
now through the Feb. 7 gala date.
