Cocktails for a Cause August 21, 2009

COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE is the First Annual gala hosted by and benefiting Dress for Success Columbus.

COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE to be held Friday, August 21, 2009 from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM – with a V.I.P. champagne reception at 6:00 PM.

We chose to host the event at the COSI, the Center of Science and Industry, because of its gorgeous views of downtown Columbus. Guests will enjoy a "Roaring Twenties"-themed affair with cocktails and hor devours, a live "date" auction, a fashion show featuring garments from fabulous local boutiques, and a silent auction. The event will be energized by a live jazz band, and later in the evening, a popular DJ. The suggested attire for the event is festive cocktail wear.

We would love to celebrate this wonderful and worthy cause with you!
