☔ Rain or Shine ☀...In Person or LIVESTREAM 📡, we can hardly wait to celebrate with you!
Dear <<First Name>>,
We are looking forward to celebrating with you, whether you are joining us at the Sheraton Phoenix Crescent Hotel (reception starts at 5 pm MST) or virtually (6 pm MST)! We'll "tip-off" this Saturday, September 19th at 6:00 pm MST with a welcome by Matt Smith, founder and CEO of smithHOUSE, and a special message from our keynote speaker Eddie Johnson, former Phoenix Suns player, TV Analyst, and Youth Coach. A lovely medley of videos, songs, and pictures of the E3 Africa students, school, and program will follow at 6:30 during the dinner portion of the evening (if you are meeting at the Sheraton, you will still be able to watch these heartwarming videos!)
The silent auction will remain open through Monday, September 21st, at 8 pm MST. (Please note, you may be responsible for S&H fees of an item.) An hour of inspiring and information-packed presentations by Father Robert Aliunzi, E3 Africa's Co-Founder, Nate Cottrell, Executive Board Chairman, and Joe Weller, Executive Board Vice-Chair will begin at 7:15 pm MST.
The live auction will feature the following items: * Dinner for Eight Guests at Father Robert’s Home * An Evening with Bishop Nevares * One Complete Residential HVAC System Installed by George Brazil * Handcrafted Pottery Service for Ten Dinner Set by Dana McDaniel * Two footballs autographed by the Patriots wide receiver N’Keal Harry (each in a glass case) * Two footballs autographed by Arizona State defensive back Chase Lucas (each in a glass case)
