Another successful fundraiser event for The Curry Foundation.

On Saturday evening, October 23, 2010, we set sail aboard The Spirit of Harbour Town to enjoy a brilliant Hilton Head sunset – and a full moon rising that nearly stole the show – for our first Sunset Dinner Cruise and Charity Silent Auction.

Hilton Head Sunset

We’re still waiting for the final bean count, but by all accounts the evening was a success.

Our guests enjoyed an opportunity to meet our Board of Directors, Volunteers, and, of course, our guest of honor, Sherry Kahle.

Sherry Kahle and Guests

Sherry, an artist and teacher at Hilton Head Island Middle School, was recently diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Follicular Lymphoma and is currently undergoing treatment. With this dinner cruise, silent auction and other fundraising activities, The Curry Foundation is helping to ease Sherry’s financial burden while she’s busy beating her cancer.

Sherry Kahle and Friend

We billed this event as “A Three Hour Tour…to Help Sherry,” but our goals are much broader than that. Next year we expect to have Sherry on board with us again…cancer free and healthy, and with her life back on track…to introduce our five, ten…perhaps more…newest beneficiaries.

It doesn’t have to be much…every little bit helps. Like our motto says; “When Many Give a Little, It Helps Someone A Lot.”

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the pictures!

We called it a Sunset Dinner Cruise, but as serendipity would have it, we got a double feature with this brilliant full moon rising over Hilton Head Island.

By the way, dinner was fabulous and the entire evening went off without a hitch. Thank you to Elise Witman of Vagabond Cruise and the entire crew of The Spirit of Harbour Town!

Our guests enjoyed a fabulous buffet dinner.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening.

Thank you to all of our guests and donors. We’ll see you next year!
