Black and White Ball was total ‘ball’ for all involved Florence based Children’s Repertory of Oregon Workshops (CROW) was recently hosted a new fundrais- ing event, the 2018 Black and White Ball fundraiser in February at Three Rivers Casino Resort. Artistic Director Melanie Heard, “We are thrilled and overwhelmed with gratitude for all those who supported CROW by attending, volun- teering, donating or participat- ing in so many wonderful ways. I know I speak for all of CROW’s children, families and volunteers when I say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” Highlights of the event included a Eugene-based live band called the Pop Rocks who played toe-tapping hits of the 1980s and ‘90s. Revelers Aerial Works provided aerial artists, performing tricks and visual surprises live in the room for guests to enjoy. “The dance floor was packed and jumping!” said Heard with a smile. “Now, that is the kind of party we wanted to throw.” The silent auction featured donations ranging from granite countertops to vintage jewelry to sports tickets, all donated by local businesses and many out of the area donors. The unique mask table fea- tured beautiful, one of a kind works of art from many local artists. $9.50 | $8.50 Sen/Student/Military | $8 Matinees Before 2 | $7.50 Child | $6.50 Members | Performing Arts: $19/$15/$10 MARCH 9 - 15 3 A MON 12 TUE 13 WED 14 THU 15 12:20 PM 12:20 PM 12:20 PM 12:20 PM 12:20 PM 12:20 PM 3:20 PM 3:20 PM 3:30 PM 3:30 PM 3:30 PM 3:30 PM 6:10 PM 6:10 PM 6:40 PM 6:40 PM 6:40 PM 6:40 PM 9:10 PM 12:50 PM 12:30 PM 12:50 PM 12:50 PM 12:50 PM 12:30 PM 12:50 PM 6:10 PM 5:50 PM 6:10 PM 6:40 PM 6:40 PM Adapted Screenplay - R 130 MIN “A film that’s at once light, joyful and emotionally devastating, with deeply affecting central performances. A full-hearted romantic masterpiece.” Empire COURTESY PHOTO Attendees at the Black and White Ball in February wore shades of grey, metallics and black and white. Guests sported their finest black and white attire, and the entire room “looked both ele- gant and debonair — like a sea of swirled dark and white chocolate,” according to one bystander. Although Heard described the event itself as “truly won- derful,” she admits that the organization is not done raising funds. CROW has a board meeting scheduled to evaluate the next steps for the nonprofit, which was established in 2011 in order to meet the needs of artistic youth in the Siuslaw region. “CROW still requires a sig- nificant amount of funding to continue to provide a high- quality arts enrichment pro- gram like we do, without pass- ing along any financial burden WEDNESDAY THURSDAY to local families,” said Heard. “Simply put, we are hoping that somewhere in the commu- nity is an angel who will make it possible for us to stop run- ning in place to raise these day- to-day funds, so that we can put our focus on the children — which is where it needs to be.” Heard explained that by not charging families to participate in its mainstage shows, CROW must continually search for everyday operational expenses, educational materials and pro- duction expenses that would normally stem from tuition. Grants and donations have been helpful, but unfortunately still not quite enough. “In addition, there is the matter of the $220,000 that we must still raise to pay off the CROW Center for the Performing Arts,” said Heard. “But it’s one day at a time, and for now, we are thrilled about the Black and White Ball.” She continued, “I do want to be clear that we still need your help and are not yet in a place where we can stop fundraising. If you have seen a show or been to a CROW event and you love what we’ve done for our incredible local kids in the arts, please help CROW keep fly- ing.” One dream for the organiza- tion is to start an endowment fund, but that requires $10,000 to begin, and “we just don’t have that much in the bank.” For more information about how you can help, contact Heard at 541-999-8641 or visit www.crowkids.com.
