Sun City West Foundation hosted an Artistic Affair fundraiser for Valley View Community Food bank on Thursday, November Nov. 9 in Sun City West.
The evening started with appetizers, desserts, and a little beer and wine to set the mood for the Artistic Affair. Raffle tickets were sold for the Bucket Raffle, and people browsed myriad of beautiful creations, from paintings, pottery, woodworking and jewelry to baskets filled with goodies from local businesses and “non-art” clubs.
Guests dropped tickets into the buckets of items they wanted to win. Tickets were drawn throughout the event and cheers from winners could be heard across the valley. Thirteen items were auctioned off by our very own auctioneer and board member Dan Hern, who helped raised almost $3,000 with the auction. The live auction consisted of six paintings and sand-art pieces donated by the Arnulf-Vadheim family, a Mark King signed print, two clubs and a basket from DA Golf Lab, a basket from the Pickleball Club, a beautiful piece of wood Intarsia art from Pat Cramer and a lunch for 12 from Wild Bunch Catering.
