Waterbury ARC's 2021 Fundraising Auction Postponed
The event has been rescheduled to June 8, 2022, at the Grand Oak Villa in Watertown, from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
WATERBURY – The Waterbury ARC (WARC) regretfully announces the postponement of its Annual Wine and Beer-Tasting Fundraiser and Auction, originally scheduled for June 2, 2021. Due to current circumstances, the event, which is the largest fundraiser of the year for the 69-year-old non-profit, has been rescheduled to June 8, 2022, at the Grand Oak Villa in Watertown, from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Diamond Sponsor Post University offers this benefit, which features hearty appetizers and desserts with a cash bar, silent and live auctions, and raffles. Prizes including sweet treats; hotel stays; restaurant gift certificates; spa packages; theatre; sports; museum tickets, and much more, have been graciously donated by businesses and individuals from across the state and beyond. Dozens of charitable entities, companies, and other area non-profits have already assured the organizers of their expected participation in 2022, which will be a grand evening of celebration after what will then be a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. A unique and exciting jewelry event will also be offered through the kindness of Onyx II Jewelers of Watertown.
Platinum Sponsors for this very special evening are Grady & Riley, LLP Attorneys at Law, and Thomaston Savings Bank, with Gold-Level Sponsor backing from Carmody, Torrance, Sandak, & Hennessey, LLP; Noujaim Tool Co., Inc.; St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation; TD Bank, Shaker Automotive Group, Ion Bank, Webster Bank, and the Connecticut Community Foundation. Amodeo’s Highland Package Store in Waterbury serves as the official Wine and Beer Sponsor.
