BREAK THE SILENCE
January 11th, 2010 | Published in Featured, Spotlight
For too long the 850 children at Gateway Longview have been silent because for children without families, or children who have suffered abuse do not have a voice. But, on January 9, 2010 at 7 p.m., these children will be heard loud and clear through the fundraising efforts of 51 prominent local and emerging artists to “Break the Silence”.Shea’s Buffalo Theatre, Buffalo, NY will be the site of this most auspicious occasion. After suffering the emotional loss of losing a child, local photographer, Cheryl Gorski volunteered to take some pictures of the kids for their adoption campaign, at which time she was struck with the stark reality of these children’s lives. “We must let these children be heard and Break the Silence. They need us. You don’t need to go to a foreign country to adopt a child. We have children in need right here in Western New York”, said Gorski.
The evening will feature music and entertainment by Joseph Michael Mahfoud, Emile Latimer, Sabu Adeyola, Sechaba Molefe, Leah Russo, Geno Mc Manus, Dr. B. Andrew Lane & The Destiny Covenant Christian Center Worship Team, Roszella Davis, The Clark Academy Dancers, Jimmy Bigrook Hawkins and O’Connell And Company
Food will be provided by the Lafayette Tap Room, Gormet Sorbet, and a cash bar by the Shea’s Buffalo Performing Arts Center.
At 9pm the live auction will begin, with auctioneer Steve Phillips of The Lodge Auction House calling for bids on the art. $15.00 admission 7 PM – 11 P. Sponsorships are available. Sponsors can call: 716 903 0600 and ask for Cheryl. All auction proceeds to benefit the children of Gateway Longview, a child and family service organization.
