BRADENTON – After a long 2-year hiatus, the Hats & Heels & Bow Ties Luncheon, benefiting Turning Points, is back!
Hats & Heels & Bow Ties is on Friday, May 20th 2022 at 11:30am-1:30pm at GROVE Restaurant, Patio and Ballroom. This popular annual event was canceled in 2020 & 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. “I am excited to back to a sense of normalcy and to experience this fabulous event for the first time! Looking forward to seeing and meeting everyone”, stated Kathleen Cramer, Executive Director for Turning Points. Ms. Cramer started her tenure at Turning Points in June 2020
Hats & Heels & Bow Ties centers around a friendly interactive competition between the guests. Celebrity judges score the guests on several categories regarding the guests’ hats or fascinator, and/or heels or flats and/or bow ties. Guests attend the luncheon wearing a hat or fascinator of their creation or purchased. They can also wear special or unique heels or flats. And lastly they can also wear a special or unique bow tie. Exceptional prizes are awarded to the winners.
Tickets are $60.00 and there are several sponsorship opportunities available. Included in the ticket cost is a glass of prosecco/champagne, a sit down lunch, dessert and photo booth pictures. Guests arrive early to enjoy and shop all of the raffle prizes. There are several sponsorship packages available but unique sponsorships can also be created. Over 250 women and men from Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch attend Hats & Heels & Bow ties so this is a great way to showcase a business with a far reach. This is a well-attended event that usually sells out.
