2018 Annual Benefit Honoring Retiring Executive Director Scott Ward
Dates: Saturday, Apr 14, 2018
Time: 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM

Please join us on Saturday, April 14th as we honor the 17-year legacy of our Executive Director Scott Ward, who will retire in June. Get your tickets today and show your support for the Armory's many successes under Scott's leadership. Tickets are $150 each and will be held at the door.





Honor Scott Ward’s indelible legacy today. In addition to attending the benefit on April 14, you can let Scott know how much he is appreciated by purchasing a page in a hardbound, commemorative tribute book—custom-made just for Scott to reflect upon his years of service and help him remember all the treasured friendships he's built along the way. After purchasing event tickets, click the post-it note below and reserve your spot in this one-of-a-kind keepsake.
