The Foundation for Center Education, along with Presenting Sponsor Burns & McDonnell, is pleased to present this year's gala fundraising, Autos & Auctions on Saturday, February 6th.  This year's event is being held at the private Armacost Auto Museum in Grandview, which houses the private collection of vintage automobiles owned by the Armacost family.

Autos and Auctions will take place from 7:00 - 10:00 pm on February 6th.  Tickets are $50 per person and include admission to the museum, a wonderful buffet and open bar, time to socialize with fellow Center supporters and staff and, of course, the opportunity to bid on some wonderful items that have been donated to our silent and live auctions.  Auction items include tickets on Air Tran, driving laps at Kansas Speedway, lots of certificates for area restaurants, entertainment and hotels, winery tours, and much, much more.  Mark Alford, anchor of the Fox4 Morning News, will be the emcee for the evening's activities.

For more information, or to reserve tickets, contact Rick Chambers at 816-863-2254 or by email at foundation AT center.k12.mo DOT us.
