Van Wezel, Wilde Jaguar Sarasota Raise $300,000

Business

The Van Wezel Foundation, in partnership with Wilde Jaguar Sarasota, announced that over $300,000 was raised at the 17th Annual Van Wezel Foundation Gala, held this past February at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. Wilde Jaguar Sarasota teamed up with the Van Wezel Foundation in a drawing by chance to win a 2018 Jaguar XE. With a donation of $100, ticket holders had the opportunity to be one out of 1,000 in the chance drawing. This year’s winner, Joyce Bowers, was announced onstage after a performance from gala headliner, Barry Manilow. Bowers took home her new 2018 Jaguar XE, in the color of her choice, on March 25. All proceeds raised from the 17th Annual Van Wezel Foundation Gala benefit the Van Wezel Foundation, which operates to enrich the community and foster arts education, while supporting the needs of the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
