Best and Brightest To Gather at New Canaan Country Club for Annual ABC House Gala

Saturday, October, 3, 2015 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

The ABC House of New Canaan will hold its 42 annual fundraiser at the Country Club of New Canaan on Saturday, Oct. 3. The seven ABC scholars will attend with their families and host families, along with friends and supporters, to raise money and awareness for this outstanding national organization.

This year’s gala will include a live auction along with a raffle offering our winner handcrafted 18k gold and brushed silver Meg eternity rings, each of which is encircled by over 40 diamonds. They are valued at over $4,100. The rings were donated by Claire O’Hare, an ABC host parent and co-founder of the jewelry designer, Livewell Designs.

Since its founding in 1973, A Better Chance of New Canaan’s mission has been to offer capable minority youth the opportunity to learn in a superior educational program that will affirm and nurture their academic talent, while also preparing them to assume positions of responsibility and leadership in American society.

Each year, New Canaan selects promising scholars from the tri-state area to attend New Canaan High School. Students enter the four-year A Better Chance program as high school freshman. During the academic year, the students live in a house owned and maintained by A Better Chance, Inc. of New Canaan. The house accommodates up to eight male students, resident directors and family, and two resident tutors.

Please come join in to support ABC by sending a donation check or buying a $200 ticket for the October 3rd fundraiser. Donations or ticket requests can be sent to ABC House of New Canaan, P O Box 355, New Canaan, CT 06840. For more information regarding tickets or the gala, please contact Amy Burger at burger@msn.com.
