Tickets are $100 and the dinner/silent auction runs from 6 p.m. until midnight.
There will be many donated items up for the silent auction including original art work, airline tickets, and services.
Zarriello created the project while participating in a Landmark Education leadership program. Part of the course work was to create a project that benefits the community. Landmark Education is an international training and development company, who is known for offering their flagship course The Landmark Forum (www.landmarkeducation.com).
“Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a disease that has slowly taken away my husband’s mobility,” Zarriello said. “When I had the opportunity to create a project that would make a difference in the community, this seemed like a natural.”
The event is being supported by Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
