Center for Puppetry Arts
String Fling Gala!


Saturday, September 7, 2013

At the Grand Hyatt Buckhead




You’ve seen our performances, you’ve toured our Museum exhibits, and 
you’ve done the Create-A-Puppet-Workshop…
but you’ve never seen the Center like this! 

String Fling, the Center’s annual fundraising gala, is a unique, fun, puppet-filled evening for a great cause. You’ll get up close and personal with our puppets and puppeteers, bid on some amazing auction items, and enjoy an open bar followed by a delicious seated dinner, short puppetry performance, live auction, and more!

The best part? The event raises over $200,000 each year in support of our Field Trip Sponsorship Program, which provides approximately 65,000 deeply discounted and free admissions for underserved children.  If you and your family have enjoyed coming to the Center, help make it possible for other children to do the same – regardless of their economic circumstances!

When:Saturday, September 7, 2013
Where:Grand Hyatt Buckhead 
Attire: Black-tie optional
Admission: $200 /individual ticket; $2,500/Table
(tables include 10 seats and special recognition)
