TREAT Fundraiser Friday, Sept. 15 Amarillo--The annual TREAT fundraiser to benefit the Bishop DeFalco Retreat Center is set for Friday, Sept. 15 from 6:30pm to 9:00pm in the Retreat Center courtyard at 2100 North Spring.
Specialty tacos and specialty salsas by BDRC executive chef Jason Haschke are the featured entrée during the event, which serves as the major fundraiser for the retreat center. There will also be heavy hors d'oeuvres, beverages, a silent auction, Calcutta boards and entertainment from Patrick Swindell and Esquire Jazz.
Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased on the retreat center’s website, bdrc.org/treat. Sponsors continue to be sought for the fundraiser at four levels, according to Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ Sister Elizabeth Ann Dockery, executive director at the BDRC. The sponsorship levels are: • Seraphim, at $10,000; • Cherubim, at $5,000; • Archangel, at $2,500; and, • Angel, at $1,000.
“We’re trying to make something good even better here at the Bishop DeFalco Retreat Center,” said Sister Elizabeth Ann. “With that in mind, our food this year for the TREAT fundraiser is going to be a little bit of sweet and a little bit of salty.
“If you are among the many who support the ministry here at the Bishop DeFalco Retreat Center, we encourage you to purchase tickets and/or consider being a sponsor for our TREAT fundraiser. This is our main fundraiser and any and all support is greatly appreciated.”
