27th Annual Chasco Coronation Ball 2012
Each year, the Lighthouse for the Visually Impaired and Blind hosts the Annual Chasco Coronation Ball. The Ball is a black tie event, held to recognize local philanthropy, and to crown a King Pithla and Queen Chasco, 2 community leaders who give of their time and talents to the many non-profit organizations in our community. The ball also raises much needed funds and awareness for the Lighthouse for the Visually Impaired and Blind. Proceeds from the event are used to provide vision rehabilitation services to persons who are visually impaired and blind.
This year’s ball is being held on Friday March 23, 2012.
Please submit your nominations for King & Queen, and reserve your tickets now:
Nominations for 2012 King Pithla & Queen Chasco are now being accepted!!!
The King and Queen are chosen for their dedication and commitment to our community. We encourage your organization to submit the names of deserving community volunteers, as this is a rare opportunity to acknowledge those people who have helped to make our community a better place to live. The King and Queen are chosen by independent judges, not associated with the Lighthouse in any way. The judges review each nominee questionnaire and statistically rate their contributions to the community.
Nominations should be completed and emailed to Lighthouse Executive Director Sylvia Perez at sperez@lvib.org. ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 17, 2012! For more information, please contact Event Chair Tina Shelton at tinashelton@tampabay.rr.com or (727) 439-0516. Since the Lighthouse is a nonprofit organization and unable to assist nominees with the purchase of tickets, we encourage the nominating organizations and groups to sponsor nominees.
