Shawn Abraham Scholarship fundraiser ~ May 2010
Shawn was a remarkable woman who graduated with her MBA from Wayne State University’s school of social work and was my BFF. She did wonderful work in the city of Detroit before cancer took her life at the young age of 30. An endowed scholarship in her name at Wayne State University School of social work is established, and we enjoy watching it grow to help other students. Our latest fundraiser was a “celebration of her life” at D’Amato’s Restaurant & Goodnite Gracie Jazz & Martini Bar in Royal Oak, Michigan.
The truly successful event was made possible by all the wonderful people that had helped. D’Amato’s Restaurant owners Lisa & Paul Jackman graciously opened their restaurant to us for the evening. The food is amazing and friends of the Jackman’s donated their time and talent with the entertainment. The amazing Emma Kate donated the yummy cupcakes along with a friend who works at Sysco. We had a successful raffle with items from Kid Rock, Chris Chelios, the Kamanos’s, and many more. And the highlight of the evening was the celebrity bartenders. If you are interested in making a donation to the school of social work, please contact me.
