BENEFITING CORTNEY’S PLACE*
A place to learn, connect and thrive.
Cortney’s Place* is a family-founded nonprofit providing day programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Its work helps participants grow cognitively, physically and socially, pursue personal goals and build greater independence.
Personal growth
Programs are designed to help participants build skills, confidence and greater independence.
Community & connection
Every activity creates more opportunities to explore interests, connect with others and thrive.
THE NIGHT
A proper night out.
With a little cowboy spirit.
This is not a sit-down-and-watch kind of fundraiser. Eat well, learn a few steps, pick the prizes you actually want and stay for the band.
8:00–11:00 PM
Live music runs 8:00–11:00 PM. Band announcement coming soon.
Get on the floor.
A line-dance instructor will lead the room from 5:30–6:30 PM. No experience required — that is rather the point.
Smoking Somethin BBQ.
Dinner is scheduled from 6:00–8:00 PM. Bev also shared a behind-the-scenes look at the BBQ crew.
See the BBQ teaserPick what you want.
Most raffle prizes will stand on their own instead of disappearing into large baskets. Drop tickets on the items you actually want, with a small number of live-auction items during the band break.
