The Peace Center’s 2020 Auction Gala will be held online as a virtual event over the weekend of October 23rd-25th 2020.
The Executive Director of The Peace Center Inc., Danny L. Thomas, commented that “The health crisis, coupled with the very visible death of George Floyd and increasing violence and civil unrest, has brought the world face to face with the legacies of oppression and systemic racism in almost every community. The work that The Peace Center has been partnering with communities in for almost 40 years is being sought out now more than ever. Heartened by the global demand for justice and racial equity, The Peace Center has seen the strong impact a vital and united community can have and the theme “Celebrate Community” was born.”
For the first time, an exciting entertainment program is
being offered as part of the Auction Gala. Those who register will be given the
opportunity to purchase a link to A Little Bit of Broadway, A Whole Lot of
Heart premiering Saturday, October 24th at 7 PM. This exclusive online performance features baritone vocalist, Keith Spencer and his quintet who created this show exclusively for The Peace Center’s Virtual Auction Gala. Keith will perform some of Broadway’s best as well as excerpts from his smash-hit one-man show, Brothers on Broadway. Keith most-recently performed Brothers
on Broadway with the Capital Philharmonic of Trenton to a packed-out house
of more than 1,000 fans at the Patriots Theater at the War Memorial.
Keith appears courtesy of On Demand Programs and Events. Natalie Kaye, On Demand president added, “I am delighted that Keith will be helping The Peace Center raise funds for their important work in our community. Keith’s performances are always spectacular, ensuring the success of any fundraiser”.
