Catholic Social Services event to feature a wide range of entertainment
Concert of Caring, a fundraising event benefiting the Sidney Office of Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley, will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2018, at Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney.
Entertainment for the 5th Annual Concert of Caring includes the Cincinnati Steel Ensemble, guitarist Danny Schneible, and the Dayton-based band This Side Up.
Admission to the event is $50 per person and includes reserved table seating, open bar (beer and wine), dinner, entertainment, and the chance to bid on a variety of Silent Auction items donated by businesses, individuals, and local artisans.
Bishop Binzer of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will celebrate the Catholic Mass for event attendees in the Lehman Chapel at 5:00 p.m.
The event begins at 6:00 p.m. with a cocktail hour and music by the Cincinnati Steel Ensemble, a 13-piece steel pan band directed by Michael Wendeln. Wendeln is a native of Piqua and a 1999 graduate of Lehman Catholic. Dinner will follow at 7:00 p.m., catered by The Spot restaurant and accompanied by local guitarist Danny Schneible. The featured band – This Side Up – will take the stage from 8-11 p.m. to provide a variety of music for dancing and high-energy fun.
Sponsorship opportunities for the event include signage and program recognition. The Headliner Level is $1000 and includes a table for eight. The Star Level is $500 and includes six admissions. The Artist Level is $250 and includes four admissions.
Proceeds from the annual Concert of Caring guarantee continued success of CSSMV services in the Northern Miami Valley. Those programs include counseling, parenting and adoption support in Auglaize and Mercer Counties, and all those services plus the RideLink Call Center and senior visiting and food deliveries in Darke, Miami, and Shelby Counties.
Your support of this event could help counsel a teen facing problems at school or an unplanned pregnancy, give a person coping with depression a chance to work through problems, or provide companionship and help for an isolated senior or caregiver. The impact of CSSMV services are far-reaching and may just touch a family member, friend, or neighbor.
Committee members for the 2018 Concert of Caring event are Emily Goubeaux, Dianne Sielschott, Irene Stonebraker, Jenny Weber, Kim Custenborder, and Kathy Cavinder.
