Tickets for Island Pacific Academy’s Grand Expedition are on sale now. Grand Expedition is IPA’s annual Spring Benefit event and is open to the public as well as our IPA Ohana. “Our 2016 Grand Expedition: An Evening in Tuscany will be held on Saturday, February 13, Valentine’s weekend,” says Yvette Anseeuw, Fundraising Event Coordinator. “All of our chefs have been asked to make a dish that they love playing on our theme ‘That’s Amore!'”
The 2016 Grand Expedition website www.tinyurl.com/IPAgrandX lets users learn more about participating restaurants, sponsors, auction items, and purchase tickets.
Tickets and tables can be purchased online using a debit or credit card. “If you want to pay for tickets, a whole table, or even a sponsorship with a check you can do that too,” says Anseeuw. “Just call or come to the main Administrative office and we’ll get you added to the guest list.”
The name GRAND EXPEDITION reflects the entertaining atmosphere and expectations of the philanthropic effort of the evening. Each year at this festive event, IPA takes attendees on a new adventure to an exotic “locale” while experiencing a food tasting from some of Oahu’s finest Chefs. Both a silent and live auction provide the opportunity for bidders to support the school.
