We invite you to join us for the annual College of Business and Innovation Alumni Affiliate Celebrity Wait Night, a scholarship benefit for tomorrow's business leaders. At 6:30 p.m., on Monday, May 21, a host of local celebrities, alumni and college representatives will be on hand to serve you at Ciao! Ristorante (6064 Monroe St., Sylvania 43560).
The evening will include a silent auction, wine raffle and apron raffle. All proceeds, tips and donations from the wait night will be used to support the College of Business and Innovation Alumni Affiliate Scholarship.
This casual-dress event begins at 5:30 p.m. with networking and cocktails and dinner is at 6:30 p.m. A silent auction will offer great items, including dinner with wine at Ciao! Ristorante. All proceeds benefit the scholarship. In return for your waiter’s outstanding service, we hope that they earn tips to help students in need.
We will raffle off a case of wine during the evening and only 52 raffle tickets are available to purchase. You do not need to be present to win.
The Celebrity Wait Night is $50 per person, which includes your selection of an appetizer, dinner salad, entree and dessert. Please indicate your preferred celebrity waiter below. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
Don't miss out on your opportunity to contribute to this annual event! If you are unable to attend and would like to make a donation to the College of Business and Innovation Alumni Affiliate Scholarship, please contact Erin Hafner at erin.hafner@utoledo.edu.
