It’s time to get your tickets for Denim & Diamonds!

The biggest party of the year will be May 2^nd at the Plano Centre; tickets available now at http://www.foundationforlovejoyschools.org.

On May 2^nd, the Plano Centre will sparkle with “Rock ‘n Rodeo,” the social event of Lucas, Fairview, Allen, and the rest of the Lovejoy community. Over the last three years, the Denim & Diamonds Gala has generated lots of buzz as a fun and elegant way to raise money for the Foundation for Lovejoy Schools.

The Gala includes cocktails, an elegant dinner, both live and silent auctions, and dancing to a live band.

Every year, the Denim & Diamonds Gala includes numerous creative, one-of-a-kind pieces that would not be available anywhere else. Tables are spotted with leopard prints, in honor of Lovejoy’s district-wide leopard mascot. Last year, one of the more memorable items was a set of Western-themed theater seats perfect for a home media room.

The live auction always generates excitement with unique opportunities for both kids and adults. A perennial favorite is a ride in a fire truck with either the Lucas or Fairview fire department — last year, this one proved so popular the auctioneer persuaded the fire chiefs to provide two rides each.

Vacation packages, jewelry, dinners, massages, and other treats will also be available at auction prices that both save money and support all the students of Lovejoy ISD.

Both individual tickets and group tables are on sale now at the Foundation’s website, www.foundationforlovejoyschools.org. Buy your tickets now and prepare for a beautiful, lively spring evening on May 2^nd. You’ll never have more fun doing this much good!
