Gala raises funds for affordable housing
About 250 people attended Community Housing & Resources’ Give Your Heart To CHR Gallery Gala on Feb. 3 at The Community House on Sanibel. Capping a three-month spotlight on HEART ART — 15 heart sculptures created by local artists — it raised funds for affordable housing programs. At the event, attendees enjoyed a catered dinner and live music, as well as bid on the artwork through a silent auction and a live auction, led by local auctioneer Tommy Williams. Additional sponsors included Vibeke and Gustav Christiansen, Cielo, Congress Jewelers, Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, Heidrick & Company Insurance, Terri Kuhl, MudBugs Cajun Kitchen, Vince and Suzie Nowell, Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts, The Sanctuary Golf Club Foundation, Cindy and Roger Timm, and Tree West.
