COCONUT CREEK, Fla. (July 30, 2013) – Food For The Poor’s 6th annual Caribbean-themed Dreams Across The Sea Gala, presented by W Atlanta-Midtown, will be Saturday, Sept. 28.
Brenda Wood, co-anchor for 11 Alive News and The Daily 11, will serve as the gala’s master of ceremonies. The Emmy-award winning anchor said she is honored to be associated with Dreams Across The Sea Gala.
Guests will enjoy an elegant evening of exceptional dining, live music, dancing and a silent auction. Bidding on silent auction prizes, such as electronics, jewelry, luxury vacations, golf outings and dining packages, offers opportunities for guests to support the cause. A six-day, five-night stay at the luxurious Beach & Golf Resort Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, is one of the silent auction prizes.
“Making a difference is one of the greatest privileges we enjoy,” said Saurel Quettan, a gala co-chairman. “I know exactly how my money will be used when I donate to Food For The Poor. I have also had the opportunity to travel to Haiti, where I touched and interacted directly with the people who benefited from my time and treasure.”
Dreams Across The Sea Gala Co-Chairmen are Surel Quettan and Garvin Stewart. Additional committee members include Dr. Paula Nelson Adesokan, Scott and Kari Bardowell, Verlyn Britton, Treza Brooms-Johnson, Ed Buckley, Chris Curry, Gina Frasier, Nekeidra Frederick, Jean Hanges, Sheryl McCalla, Sylvia McClure, Marie-Ann Perez, Dr. Jason Regis, and Michelle Wattley.
Dreams Across The Sea Gala proceeds will deliver life-saving medical resources and clean water to Haiti. For additional information about sponsorship opportunities and tickets, please call, 1-888-404-4248 or visit www.FoodForThePoor.org/atlanta.
