Canopies
by Rad Sellner 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Does anyone have any canopies 12'x12' or bigger that we could borrow on 8/10/2019 for a memorial benefit concert for Hope Academy? A little more back round information. The benefit is the Karl Sellner Memorial benefit for Hope Academy. Karl Sellner was a student of Hope Academy back in the early 2000's. Hope Academy fostered his love of the performing arts and Karl's family would love to pass his love on to students that cannot afford Hope Academy by sponsoring this fundraiser. It is going to be a great evening of music, all local talent, as well as a pig roast. Please respond to this email if you are interested or have any canopies that we can borrow. Attached is a flyer about the event. Thank you in advance, Rad Sellner
