Benefit for Historic Preservation

August 7, 2010

The first Saturday of August is Great Camp Sagamore’s annual Benefit for Historic Preservation. Ticket price is per person and includes the silent auction followed by a sumptuous dinner.   Entertainment is also a part of the festive evening.

About 200 guests accept the Board's invitation to attend this important fund raiser annually. Most recently, proceeds have helped re-roof the Chalet and Alfred’s Cottage and repair the foundation at the Playhouse. The Trustees are now beginning a campaign to build endowment for interpretation and preservation.

Business sponsorships are available and include recognition on the invitation, in press releases, and on the program. Platinum, gold, and silver sponsorships are available.  Please contact us for sponsorship.

Trustees, Ambassadors, & Benefit Committee include: Linda Cohen, Pres., David Rockwell, VP, Marion Goethals, Sec., Gail Doering, Treas., Beverly Bridger, Janet Griffith, Jerry Luhn, Peggy Lynn, Chick Rubenau, Steve Sayer; Barbara Glaser, Tony Cashen, Christine Swann, Rich Torkelson, Gary Jesmain, Jennifer P. Hayes. Lowell Seifter, Betty McCollum, Ardie Pierce, Mary Sanders Shartle, Patty Lane, Sarah Cohen, Don and Judy Applegate, Margie Burstein, Mollie Lampi.

This year the Benefit raffle is a 2 night stay at the beautiful Lake Placid Lodge.  Raffle tickets are $100 each and only 100 tickets will be sold.  Click here to purchase online.  The winning ticket will be drawn during our Benefit dinner on August 7th and you do not need to be present to win.   All funds from the raffle benefit Sagamore's programs and preservation; we wish everyone the best of luck and thank you for your support.
