A Cinco de Mayo Celebration!

BSH Third Annual BASH Taps Cinco de Mayo Theme


Posted Apr 9 2011 by CSL in Blog, Events, Press
BASH at the Lake, Bluffton Self Help’s third annual fundraiser, is open to the entire com­mu­nity, and will be held on May 5th at Hamp­ton Lake. This year’s event has added impor­tance since it will serve as the kick­off event for the charity’s HOPE cam­paign to build a new home for Bluffton Self Help.

The event will have a Cinco de Mayo theme with heavy hors d’oeurves, sig­na­ture drinks, a silent auc­tion with over 60 excep­tional items, a live auc­tion for exclu­sive offer­ings, and door prizes. Advance tick­ets, if pur­chased prior by May 1st, are $40.00 each and may be bought at Bluffton Self Help, from BSH board mem­bers, or on the organization’s web­site (www.blufftonselfhelp.org).

Linda Kauf­man, the 2011 BASH chair­per­son, says, “This year, our more than twenty com­mit­tee mem­bers have out­done them­selves, and event guests will reap the rewards! We are so thank­ful to the com­mu­nity of indi­vid­u­als, orga­ni­za­tions and busi­nesses who are mak­ing this year’s event the best ever”.

Founded in 1987 by Ida Mar­tin, Bluffton Self Help has grown from one woman ful­fill­ing a crit­i­cal need for neigh­bors and friends to an orga­ni­za­tion that today serves more than 20,000 clients annu­ally, pro­vid­ing food and cloth­ing as well as short-term finan­cial assis­tance for the work­ing poor.
