About This Event
This is our second year throwing A Night of Heroes for The Village, and we'd love to have you. Come to Maneeley's in South Windsor on September 10th for dinner, a drink, and a room full of people who showed up for the same reason you did. Doors open at 5:30, there's no dress code, and you can come as you are.
Over dinner you'll hear a short, practical talk on building a business through real relationships, a few words from The Village about the families they look after, and the CASUAL-LƏ Impact Awards. A silent auction and a raffle run all night, with live music to go with it.
Every dollar we raise goes to The Village for Families & Children, who make sure the kids in their care have healthy meals and snacks all year. Buy a ticket, bid on something in the auction, take a chance on the raffle, and you've helped feed a kid who needed it.
