 Grot Imaging Studios and Sauk Valley Bank Named Sponsors of the Year
In past years of the Sinnissippi Foundation Golf Open, it has been traditional to name a single Sponsor of the Year during the golf open’s awards presentation.
However this year, two local businesses were presented with the honor for their dedication and support of the Foundation: Sauk Valley Bank and Grot Imaging Studios each received a Sponsor of the Year Award.
Thanks to all sponsors and donors who support the Golf Open and the Foundation, without whom, the Foundation would not be able to continue in the mission it embarked on in 1979; seeking to increase the ability of Sinnissippi Centers to provide quality, coordinated and responsive behavioral healthcare services to children, adults, families, and communities now and in the future and to support worthwhile community projects.
Expressions Draws a Crowd for Art & Auction
Inclement weather could not keep supporters away from The Sinnissippi Foundation’s 5th Annual Expressions Art Sale and Reception held April 25, 2009 at the Next Picture Show in Dixon.
The evening’s silent auction and the sale of art from local, regional and nationally known artists raised more than $11,000 for the Foundation.
Without the generosity of many organizations and individuals, Expressions could not take place; Thanks to Sauk Valley Bank who co-sponsored the event as well as all the artists and businesses who donated art pieces and items for the silent auction and thanks to everyone who attended or purchased art and silent auction items. |
