Spofford Butterfly Gala

Each year, Spofford’s Butterfly Gala and Auction helps fund the services and programs for the children we serve. Get involved! Send us an email if you would like to help with the organization and implementation of the event, donate auction items, and/or join us for the evening’s festivities.

Deanna and Duane Albert chair the 2008 Spofford Butterfly Gala and Auction to be held Friday, October 17 at the Doubletree Hotel in Overland Park. The event will begin at 6:00pm with a reception and silent auction, followed by dinner at 7:30pm and a live auction to conclude the night. The tone is relaxed and fun. Watch for the exciting and expansive array of auction items that promise an evening of active bidding.

Live Auction Items include:

  • An autographed basketball from the 2008 National Champion Kansas Jayhawks donated by First National Bank.
  • A 14 karat white gold “Limited Edition” pendant with a radiant cut rectangular green amethyst surrounded by 32 round brilliant cut diamonds on an 18-inch white gold box chain donated by Helzberg Diamonds.
  • More to come!
