Support Cass Park Arena Enclosure Campaign
On Saturday, September 30, 2017, from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM there will be a gala held to celebrate Cass Park Arena called the Celebrate Cass! 45th Anniversary Party. 
Celebrate Cass 45th Anniversary Event
This event was launched by Friends of Ithaca Youth Bureau (FIYB) as part of a fundraising campaign to support the enclosure of Cass Park Arena, an arena located within Cass Park that requires proper enclosure for it to be sustainable.
A beautiful reception with dinner and dessert stations, beverages, a prize package raffle, silent auction, balloon bursts, music, and dancing are all to be expected at this event. It costs $125 per person and $200 per couple. For those only interested in music and dancing, tickets are $45 each. Prize package raffle tickets are only $25 each and you don’t have to be at the event to win. Those who want to support this event without attending can make a donation here.
