Nov 4th-6pm Filmmakers Fundraiser & Evening

Friends, on Thursday November 4th we gather at the Women's Club of Mpls for a fundraiser for the next movie about Patrick Scully, "The Dance is Not Over: The Patrick Scully Story”.

I hope y'all can make it!

Please RSVP by this Thursday as we need to know our numbers for catering and drink!

Patrick, myself and our team of merry collaborators are planning a magical night of story, performance and film. You will immerse yourselves into an evening of generosity, art, hors d'oeuvres, drinks (cash bar), dancing and a red carpet. All this to raise the final funds to complete Mark Wojahn’s film which documents the life and work of Patrick Scully.

When: Thursday, November 4 | 6:00 – 10:00 pm

Where: The Woman’s Club of Minneapolis | 410 Oak Grove Street Mpls, MN 55405

Cost: Free with a suggested donation, RSVP here!

Patrick’s story chronicles the events of a generation and is critically important to document for future generations. The completed film will be available on streaming services and will be preserved at the University of Minnesota’s Tretter Collection of Patrick Scully.

All donations will be designated for the completion of this work.

Our goal is to raise $65,000 to fully fund and ensure that Patrick’s story – which in many ways is all our stories – gets told.
