Child Development Center Celebrating 40 Years with Dinner/Dance, Silent Auction

Kent State University's Child Development Center is celebrating 40 years of playing a key role in educating and caring for children with a dinner/dance themed "Imagine" on April 20. 

About 150 children attend the Child Development Center, including many international students from Asia, Europe and Saudi Arabia. Visit the university's website for more details on the center. 

“This event is exciting because it gives us a chance to celebrate the rich diversity of our school,” said Monica Miller Marsh, Ph.D., executive director of the Child Development Center, on the university's website. “But perhaps more importantly, the community festival reminds us of the many ways our various cultural backgrounds overlap and intersect.”

The cost is $80 per person, $150 per couple. 

The cost to reserve a sponsored table of eight is $1,000. To purchase tickets, including sponsored tables, or to make a contribution to the scholarship fund, click here. 

The celebration also will feature a silent auction with donations benefiting the center’s Robin McManus Scholarship Fund for Children.

The event is from 6 to 11 p.m. View this Patch events listing for more details.
