July 2, 2012 Dancin in the Street Benefit Brings Street Fair Vibe to Greenwich
On June 2, Family Centers kicked off summer with a street festival like none other! Great tunes, delicious food and a little “Dancin’ in the Street” were just a few of the things on tap at the agency’s 2012 benefit.
Held at the historic Greenwich Armory, the event brought an authentic “street fair vibe” to Greenwich that thrilled the more than 350 people in attendance.
With gourmet food trucks, 3-D chalk art, a giant Ferris Wheel, jaw-dropping break dancers and many other surprises, co-chairs Allison Bourke, Abby Bowers, Pam Caffray, Patti Fast and Nonie Sullivan planned a once-in-a-lifetime party that was truly a multi-sensory experience. Guests were also treated to an acoustic performance by Fairfield County band, Finster, in a beer garden sponsored by Coalhouse Pizza and Harpoon Brewery.
Like most of Family Centers’ benefits, this year’s event was purposely designed to be casual. In fact, to quote the famous song, “It doesn’t matter what you wear just as long as you are there!”
“Dancin’ in the Street” was Family Centers’ largest fundraiser of the year. The event raised nearly $540,000 for the agency’s human service, health and education programs.
