The Sixth Annual Project Turnabout "Appetite for Life" Gala was held Friday, February 12, at the Metropolitan Ballroom & Clubroom in Minneapolis. This interactive, all-star cooking class, silent auction and culinary event raises funds for the Another Chance for Life Fund, which provides scholarships to individuals and families seeking treatment, recovery and a better quality of life from their gambling addiction. 100 percent of the event proceeds solely benefit patient and family aid.
The event was once again hosted by Chefs Larry D'Amico and Seth Bixby Daugherty and WCCO radio personality Sue Zelickson. Enter-tainment was provided by the Benny Weinbeck Orchestra and a special celebrity appearance by Matt Blair rounded out the list of All-Star Personalities associated with the evening.
Project Turnabout is pleased to announce that the 2010 event was the biggest and brightest to date. Raising in excess of $70,000 for the Another Chance for Life Fund. Because of the supporters Project Turn-about will be able to help even more patients and families in need of scholarship assistance. Since the Vanguard Program for Compulsive Gambling began, over 2,500 gamblers have been helped. In the last three years, over 300 individuals and families have benefited from scholarship assistance.
Granite Falls Bank was presented with the Circle of Hope Award at this year’s event. The Circle of Hope Award is a special recognition award given out to outstanding contributors to Project Turnabout. Granite Falls Bank has been a strong and dedicated supporter of all of Project Turnabout’s programs and services for many years and Project Turnabout thanked them for their commitment to patients and families.
