2nd Annual Cake Auction
Are you passionate about cake and Passion Works Studio? If so, you’re in luck! The 2nd Annual Passion Works Studio Cake Auction is quickly approaching. The auction is on Saturday May 12th from 10am-3pm at the The Market on State. While you admire and bid on cakes donated from local businesses and organizations, live music will be provided to delight your ears. The day kicks off with an “Old Time Rock ‘n’ Roll” performance by the ATCO Vocal Choir at 11:00 am. From 11:45 am until close at 3pm, an Ohio University ensemble will perform different music styles ranging from chamber music to jazz. The Power 105 Jambulance will also make an appearance at the event.
Passion Works is still in need of donors to create and donate a cake! The cake by no means needs to be professionally made; however, cakes may be made by a bakery. We ask that each cake donor also donate a $25 minimum incentive item, such as a gift card, to provide the community further incentive to bid. If you are a local business/organization or individual interested in donating a cake with incentives, please email cake@passionworks.org. We look forward to seeing you at the auction, hungry for an edible masterpiece!
The event is sponsored by ATCO, Inc., Frontier, The Market on State, O’Bleness Health Systems, Ohio Arts Council, and Power 105.
