Classic Celebration—Modified
The Classic Celebration has been modified to ensure the health and safety of all participants, sponsors, volunteers and other attendees in light of the recent rise of COVID-19 cases throughout the United States and in the Fort Wayne community.
Unfortunately, the Classic Celebration, scheduled for Monday, September 20, will no longer take place due to gathering size limitations and the inability to practice proper social distancing in the event venue.
We're working hard to make this day memorable for you and will have special surprises added to the event in lieu of the celebration we aren’t able to share this year.
The Classic’s Silent Auction will now be hosted online and will be available to all sponsors, volunteers and event participants. Auction details will be shared via email in mid-September.
