Thank You for Supporting SVT's Flower Power Gala
We were delighted by the incredible turnout for our Flower Power Gala, when 248 guests turned out at the Charter Oaks Country Club in Hudson in support of SVT's conservation efforts. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, we raised over $250,000 for our general operations, exceeding our fundraising goal.
Thank you to everyone who made the evening a success:
- those who attended in person, made donations, or placed bids in our online auction;
- the businesses and individuals who donated items to our auctions and bourbon pull;
- the Table Hosts who invited so many wonderful guests;
- David O'Leary, Evening Emcee;
- Lisa West Photography; and
- DJ Backspin Entertainment, Freddy Fontaine
Thank you also to the eight Garden Clubs that contributed beautiful, on-theme arrangements as part of our Centerpiece Contest:
- Harvard Garden Club
- Hudson Garden Club
- Lincoln Garden Club
- Marlborough Garden Club
- Shrewsbury Garden Club
- Southborough Gardeners
- Sudbury Garden Club
- Wayland Garden Club
Congratulations to first place winner, the Sudbury Garden Club. They will receive a prize of a private garden party at the Founders Garden at SVT's Wolbach Farm headquarters. The second place prize (a guided educational hike or BYO brown bag picnic at an SVT trail) went to Harvard Garden Club.
