Frederick, Maryland – The planning committee of An Evening on the Riviera is proud to announce that our October 2009 event raised over $93,000 in cash and in-kind donations and services. The event’s sponsors came from over 20 corporations and local businesses, and dozens more companies and individuals gave generous gifts for use in the silent auction and raffle.

In addition, the restaurants and caterers that participated in and competed for the coveted top prizes of the evening lent unstintingly of their time, talents and materials. Their contributions are irreplaceable in making the evening the unique experience that it is for our patrons.

An Evening on the Riviera is produced entirely through the efforts of a volunteer committee. The combined dedication of our volunteers and our many sponsors and participants make it the highly entertaining and magical evening that it is, while at the same time allowing us to maximize our charitable contributions to our community. All distributable proceeds from the event go directly to local Frederick County charities. The 2009 beneficiaries include The Women’s Giving Circle and The Boys and Girls Club of Frederick County.

The Women’s Giving Circle is dedicated to supporting organizations that provide services to women and their dependents; and specifically, on projects that promote self-sufficiency for women.

The Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County works with young people from disadvantaged economic, social, and family circumstances. The money received from the 2009 An Evening on the Riviera is being used to support a variety of programs, including SmartGirls, Passport to Manhood, Youth for Unity, LearningPlus, and ReadingPlus.
