Description

Nite at the Races at DeSales University is a fun, social event for everyone.  Heavy hors d'oeuvres and open bar are ncluded in the ticket price.  This ia an audience participation video event where actual horse races are shown on multilple screens to re-create the atmosphere of being at the racetrack.  Place your bets, lights are dimmed, and then you will see the field of entries parading to the post and lining up at the starting gate.  A thrilling race is then viewed while the crowd cheers on their horse.  No cash is given as a prize, but instead tickets to use in the baskets raffle.  We will also have a silent auction and 50/50.  We hope to have about 75 items on display for the raffle or silent auction.  

Our goal is to raise $30,000 and beneficiary is the Bridges Foundation supporitng Bethlehem Area Vo-Tech school and the Bethlehem Rotary Foundation.
