Sing, Swing, And Support The Gap Fund!

“Don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me, anyone else but me, anyone else but me…No, no, no, don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me, ‘til I come marching home!” It’s hard not to tap your foot or hum along to the familiar tune, isn’t it? Come enjoy this and many other Andrews Sisters’ songs that you’ll want to sing along with at MVES’ third annual spring theatre benefit.

On Saturday, April 12, at 8 p.m. MVES’ event sponsors and guests will gather at Stoneham Theatre to enjoy a performance of Sisters of Swing, The Andrews Sisters Story. Net proceeds from sponsorships and general ticket sales will benefit the MVES Gap Fund, a $1 million endowment being established to help elders who fall just outside the guidelines for government-funded home care.

“Over the past three years, we’ve built up a great sponsorship base for our annual theatre event,” said Jenny Vanasse, director of development. “We welcome back return sponsors with open arms and we’re always looking for new businesses or community groups to support the Gap Fund through a theatre event sponsorship.”

Vanasse says that MVES is a quarter of the way to reaching its endowment goal of $1 million. The interest accrued from the Gap Fund endowment will help at-risk elders in Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, and Wakefield get the home- and community-based services they need to remain independent.

To learn more about 2008 theatre event sponsorship opportunities, general tickets sales, or how you can support the Gap Fund, please contact Vanasse at 781-324-7442, ext. 175 or at development@mves.org.

Come boogie-woogie with the Andrews Sisters and MVES this spring!
