Come out and support Center Place and the arts at Center Place’s “Beach Blanket Bunco For The Arts.” This fun event will be held on Thursday, September 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m. A donation of $20 gets you dinner from LaSeptima, a drink (wine, soda or water), dessert and several lively rounds of bunco.
Advance tickets are available at Center Place located at 619 Vonderburg Dr. in Brandon or at the door that night.
No experience is necessary to play this fast moving game of dice. Just bring your luck and have a great time with friends. Dawn Galia, executive director for Center Place said, “This is a great night out, and it supports the arts.” Tammy Holmberg, long time supporter of Center Place said, “This is a great event, and it is not just for women.”
In addition to bunco, there will a 50/50 raffle, and at the end of the evening five exceptional prizes will be awarded.
The money raised from “Beach Blanket Bunco” helps to support the many programs put on at Center Place. These include high quality art workshops, children’s theatre, dinner theatre, community theatre and much more. Each year, Center Place serves more than 50,000 people. Children who attend Title 1 schools are given the opportunity to attend live theatre at Center Place thanks to the many supporters who come to events such as “Beach Blanket Bunco.”
