The Auburn Education Foundation wishes to express our sincere gratitude to all of the people, businesses and organizations that supported our eighth annual Gobble 'n' Go for Education fundraiser. While we had just a bit of a smaller crowd on a gorgeous, event-filled October day, we heard so many enthusiastic comments about the tastes offered, opportunities to chat with friends, and the excitement of searching for the ever elusive Gobble Rocks! Thanks to the support of many key partners, the weather was only icing on the cake. We gratefully acknowledge the invaluable support of our presenting, Ph.
D. sponsor, Refinery Modern Fare at Hilton Garden Inn; our master's sponsors the Auburn Teachers Association, C&S Companies, Day Automation, DJPuff Advisors, Inc., Savannah Bank, Tim Carr Pinnacle Investments and Wegmans; and our bachelor's sponsors RCJB Energy Broker Consultant and RG Wright Insurance Co.
, as well as the Auburn Downtown BID, Jacobs Press and Big D’s Limousine. Along with the generous sponsors already mentioned, we would like to thank our loyal last stop sponsor, the Knights of Columbus, who never disappoint with a delicious buffet and a welcoming place to celebrate the end of a great afternoon. This year, as always, the Auburn Education Foundation could not possibly issue appreciation without acknowledging the amazing assistance of Jesse Kline at the Auburn Downtown BID.
Jesse’s commitment as an advocate for downtown businesses is evident through her hard work, and she makes planning and executing the event a real pleasure. In addition to Jesse’s help, I would personally like to thank the Gobble 'n' Go committee and the entire board for their unwavering support, particularly on the day of the event. With many hands working together, the event was not only successful, but enjoyable! It goes without saying that this event would not be possible without the creativity, generosity and enthusiastic partnership of downtown businesses.
Auburn Education Foundation gratefully recognizes the following downtown businesses for their willingness to partner with us in support of our mission: Auburn Bagel Co., A.T.
Walley & Co., Cayuga Community College Culinary Center, Combgrown Mead, Curley’s, Mesa Grande Taqueria, Melody’s, Moondog’s Lounge, Next Chapter Brewpub, Parker’s 129, Prison City Pub & Brewery, Refinery Modern Fare, Regenerations, Roast & Toast and Shep’s Brewing. All of these partners, working together, along with the support of so many “gobblers” in our community, made for a very successful event, raising approximately $10,000! The Auburn Education Foundation thanks you all, and eagerly anticipates the innovative learning opportunities awaiting our students made possible through your support! Bonny Blair, of Auburn, is chair of the Gobble ‘n Go for Education.
