Dear Lexington Foundation Supporter,
Please join us at and/or lend your support to The Lexington Foundation’s Night Out on Thursday, September 20, from 6-9 PM at the beautiful Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts in Gloversville!
The theme this year is The Greatest Night Out, inspired by the hit movie musical The Greatest Showman. It’s going to be tons of fun, with live entertainment, roaming performers, enticing cocktails and delicious food. The dazzling evening will also include exciting raffle and silent auction items, not to mention plenty of circus surprises!
This annual event is hosted by Lexington and The Lexington Foundation and benefits the Arts Center and Transitions, including the Elmore Transitions Scholarship Fund. This year, we are thrilled to honor the following businesses and individuals who have helped make Lexington what it is today: Century Linen, The Arc New York Employer of the Year; Marc Butler, New York State Assemblyman; and Jack and Shirley Scott, WENT Radio. We will also be honoring the life and contributions of our Foundation Board Member Brian Hanaburgh.
All proceeds will benefit the arts center, which is owned and operated by The Lexington Foundation. Since opening in 2015, the Nigra Arts Center has grown into the area's largest arts and entertainment resource. Hundreds of people of all ages and abilities pass through our doors every month for classes, family events, concerts, art shows, plays, children’s camps and much more.
The Greatest Night Out will also include an opportunity to learn about and support Transitions. Co-located with the arts center, this award-winning program changes the lives of young people with learning differences by providing the training and skills they need to live independently and follow their college and career dreams.
We sincerely hope you will join us for the Greatest Night Out! If you wish to become a sponsor, we have several levels to choose from. You can also buy a table for 10 and become a VIP Night Out Sponsor. If you would like us to create a special sponsorship package just for you, we are happy to meet with you to develop one. You may also donate to the Elmore Transitions Scholarship Fund and help make it possible for even more students to attend and benefit from this unique program.
Thank you for your continued support of YOUR community arts center. We can't wait to see you at the Greatest Night Out. It’s bound to live up to its name!
