Student artwork and donated artwork from local professional artists are displayed and sold through a silent auction. Each school in our district and several local businesses donate gift baskets for our raffle. A silent auction is also held with items donated by local businesses and community members. All proceeds benefit the students of the Butler Area School District.
Live music from student groups and local professional musicians help to make for an enjoyable evening.
Corporate sponsors help to offset any event costs. Corporate sponsorships, donated items, and monetary contributions are tax-deductible. We hope to see you at FAB this April!
