First Friday 5th Anniversary Fundraiser

THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORTED THIS EVENT!

FIRST FRIDAY is a program of the non-profit arts organization, Whirlygig Inc. The Whirlygig Board of Directors wishes to express our thanks to all below for their generosity. Our SILENT ART AUCTION and RAFFLE raised much-needed funds for First Friday due to their support. Thank you to all who participated in this fun event! 

Our First Friday 5th Anniversary Fundraiser, ‘Party in the Penthouse,’ was held at Sam Cherry’s Soho Lofts on October 25, 2007. We raised much-needed funds to help support our popular art celebration and block party and all had a good time doing it. Thanks to all who sponsored the event; who came to the event; who donated art for the live art auction; who donated prizes for the raffle; who made sure their friends came to this event; and to the many friends of First Friday who donated their time and effort to help put on the Party in the Penthouse.
