KIDSANCTUARY 2ND ANNUAL
HOEDOWN
ON MARCH 22, 2014
Event to celebrate local designers for making
Dodero Cottage
a home for children in need
KidSanctuary Campus, Inc. has
just announced Michelle
Boren, Stephanie Kantis and Francie
Leidy Mackay as
Chairs of the second annual KidSanctuary
Hoedown to be
held on Saturday March 22nd,
2014 at The
National Croquet Center in
West Palm Beach. The
hoedown will be held to support the construction of the
second home on the KidSanctuary Campus while honoring the 14
designer teams who
will use their individual design innovations for the new Dodero
Cottage; which
will officially open to children later next spring.
Says KidSanctuary President Connie
Frankino, “The excitement of planning our second annual
Hoedown with our new, lovely chairwomen is proof we are
close to fulfilling our mission. We will soon complete the
Dodero Cottage and welcome new foster children who wouldn't
have otherwise had a home of their own. This would not have
happened without our overwhelmingly generous chairs, donors,
designers and volunteers. We are looking forward to this
event and completing our campus."
With its new chairs, the western themed gala
hopes to grow even further in its second year, which was
sold out in its inaugural season. A
musical performance by the legendary Tom
Jackson Band will
be returning as the musical headliner for the event, which
always keeps audiences on their feet. Tom has shared the
stage with Nashville Recording Artists: Jason Aldean, Rascal
Flatts, Little Big Town, Billy Currington, Jake Owen, Craig
Campbell, Darius Rucker, Justin Moore, Eric Church, Colt
Ford and recently, Brantley Gilbert, Alan Jackson and Randy
Travis.
Says Event
Co-Chair Michelle
Boren, “I’m thrilled to be a part of this year’s hoedown
in creating a future safe haven for children who have been
through so much. With
our event venue at The National Croquet Center, The Tom
Jackson Band, and great support behind us, we hope to create
added awareness to KidSanctuary while also having a lot of
fun.”
Dodero Cottage Design Chair, Joe Fava of Fava
International, adds, “My
group is excited to be working with so many designers and
vendors who will generously and diligently create interiors
for the second KidSanctuary home. Each designer will be
dedicating hours of time and resources to change a bare
space into a world that is warm, inviting and safe for kids
that truly deserve a home environment. And of course, we
will be excited to stomp our boots and kick up our spurs to
celebrate the completion of the home.”
