The Arc of Bristol County’s Successful 7th Annual Dinner Auction and Annual Holiday Party

Posted

Seekonk, MA and Attleboro, MA – Parent Volunteers from The Arc of Bristol County dba proAbility hosted a Harvest Gala & Dinner Auction on November 3rd at the Clarion Inn Grand Rose Ballroom in Seekonk, MA. Support from sponsors and attendees helped raise over $16,000 for individuals with intellectual and development disabilities. Helping people who need assistance requires funding combined with the hard work of dedicated volunteers and invested community leaders. Co-host Alison Bologna, of NBC 10 News, captured the spirit of the dinner auction when she stated, “proAbility is an amazing organization not just because of what you do, but because of who you are and how you care- you change lives each day and don’t ever forget how much that means to people with disabilities and their families.”

During the Holiday Party on December 1st at The Elks Lodge in Attleboro, MA, individuals and families, of both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, were able to enjoy an evening of holiday spirit. Knight of Columbus of South Attleboro sponsored the event again this year and decorated the Elks Lodge with blue and white snowflakes, tinsels, and ornament balls; it created a Winter Wonderland atmosphere! Guests were able to take home the individually made center pieces, to have long into the new year. Along with amazing decorations and great food from Young’s Catering, guests enjoyed games, music, and an appearance by Santa Claus!
