The Active 20-30 Club of Fort Wayne invites community members to attend its annual fundraiser gala, Puttin’ on the Ritz. The club also is seeking companies and individuals for sponsorships, cash donations and silent auction items.

The 20th annual Puttin’ on the Ritz (black-tie optional event) will be held at the beautiful and recently expanded Fort Wayne Museum of Art on Saturday, March 12, 2016. Guests will be treated to wine and beer tasting, silent and live auctions, heavy hors d’oeuvres accompanied by complimentary beer and wine. Live music will be presented by Chris Worth throughout the evening, so guests can dance the night away. Tickets can be purchased online via Eventbrite: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/20th-annual-puttin-on-the-ritz-tickets-19883087851?aff=ANY

Funds raised from Puttin’ on the Ritz are utilized to support our philanthropic and hands-on events held throughout the year. Our signature philanthropic event is the children’s shopping spree held in August of each year. Over the past four years alone, the Fort Wayne Club has assisted nearly 500 children from local agencies with their back-to-school needs.

Everything that the Active 20-30 Club of Fort Wayne does for the children in our community is made possible by our sponsors. To continue our mission, we are asking for your sponsorship of the 20th annual Puttin’ on the Ritz fundraiser. Potential donors are asked to visit www.fortwayne2030.org or call Theresa Bobay at (260) 241-2582, to obtain a donor packet.
