LEAP: Art Auction 2006

25th Anniversary cake

Celebrate, Educate, Donate
In celebration of LEAP's 25th Anniversary, LEAP held a live and silent art auction on Friday, September 15th, 2006.  We were pleased to have former Cleveland Browns Head Coach Sam Rutigliano as our Honorary Chairman.  Over 200 attendees enjoyed an evening filled with music, food, and beautiful displays of artwork for our live auction supplied by Regency Fine Art of Atlanta, Georgia.  Over 60 items were donated for our silent auction by various local artists with and without disabilities.
 
Thank you to our sponsors, "Friends of LEAP," volunteers and participants who helped to make the evening a success!
