ARC OF THE TREASURE COAST’S NEW YORK CITY-INPSIRED
FUNDRAISER BRINGS BIG APPLE APPEAL TO MARTIN COUNTY
 
STUART, FL. –  The 22^nd Annual “Start Spreading the News” Evening of Entertainment hosted by ARC of the Treasure Coast was a big hit thanks to the Big Apple theme. This past Saturday night, hundreds of people enjoyed a spectacular evening at the newly renovated Hutchinson Island Marriott on Ocean Blvd in Stuart.
Guests dressed to the nines, sipped on Cosmos, danced the night away and feasted on NYC-inspired fare, while enjoying a number of live performances from world renowned artists Michael Ward-Bergeman with the Vancouver Philharmonic, Wings to Fly Dance Company and Motown Ross Brown. The exclusive after party included casino games and carnival fun.
All proceeds from the event, including donations made from silent and live auctions, will help support more than 950 adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities who rely on ARC of the Treasure Coast programs including job training services, after school and summer camp initiatives.
Emcee Alex Haigh and Auctioneers Keith Trowbridge and MJ Thiboult were outstanding.
Congrats to Elizabeth Barbella and the Community Foundation of Martin/St. Lucie, recipients of the Rembrandt Award.
Thanks to our Title Sponsor Treasure Coast Provisions and Indian River Provisions as well as our many other community partners who supported this event through their sponsorships.
Our Planning Committee and ARC Directors as well as our board members succeeded in making this one of the premiere events in Martin County.  To everyone, a big thank you for your support.
Together, we can empower special individuals in our care to achieve their fullest potential.
