The Guardian Center, Inc. is pleased to bring Midwest Dueling Pianos to our 20th Year Celebration on Friday, March 2nd. Sponsorships are available for this event to support our programs for abused children and their families.
Twenty Years! It’s hard to believe, but true. A long time to be providing services to children and families, but so rewarding! We hope to fill the banquet hall with guests to enjoy this evening of fun entertainment while helping us raise funds to fulfill our mission!
Midwest Dueling Pianos offers a wildly entertaining music and comedy dueling piano show that our guests will love. The one-of-a-kind entertainment experience that is Midwest Dueling Pianos will have guests singing, dancing, and laughing, along with their friends and family.
The event will be held at the Castle at the Windsor Oaks in Grayville, with the doors opening at 5:15. A buffet dinner will be served at 6 pm (with a meatless option for those observing Lent). There will be auction items and a raffle as well as a cash bar (beer & wine only).
For those interested in volunteering to help or donate items for the auction, please call 618-382-8247 or email nbradfield@theguardiancenter.org or swoodham@theguardiancenter.org .
