Cedarburg Education Foundation Proudly Presents the 2021 Bulldog Gala
Art donation made by Karen and Paul Yank of Cedarburg, Wisconsin
CEDARBURG, Wis. (October 29, 2021) – The Bulldog Gala is Cedarburg Education Foundation’s largest fundraising event of the year. Featuring dinner, entertainment, live & silent auctions, and a raffle. The generosity of the community will support the arts as an integral component of the Cedarburg School District’s comprehensive STEAM initiatives.
“The overwhelming support of local artists has been incredible!” says Mark Repenshek, Cedarburg Education Foundation President “We are looking forward to highlighting the “A” in STEAM through the amazing, donated contributions of our local artists to CEF’s premier fundraising event!”
Help support our kids with 21st Century Arts Opportunities. The Bulldog Gala is all about An Evening for the Arts! The Cedarburg Education Foundation has designed a three-year strategic fundraising plan to focus on Putting the “A” in STEAM. This Campaign will provide financial support for aligned strategies across the entire Cedarburg School District from our incredible elementary schools through middle and into high school.
Karen Yank and the late Paul Yank, a father/daughter artistic duo from Cedarburg, Wisconsin have been deep in the worldwide art scene for many years. Karen is a graduate of Cedarburg High School, Class of 1979. They have each generously donated a piece of their art that will be available on the silent auction beginning on Friday, November 5th.
Karen Yank donated a piece from her “XO Series” said, “I incorporate circular images referencing all that is natural; such as the sun, moon, earth, cycles of life, time, repetition and the notion of unity. The “X” reflects transit themes of crossing, intersecting, joining, and marking a point in time or space. Also, I use the two symbols combined as a show of affection for the world as a whole.”
