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.

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.”
