Columbus Young Professionals Present “A Date 2 Remember”

Saturday, February 7th marks the second annual ‘A Date 2 Remember’ young professional date auction and fashion show for charity, presented by the CYP Club (Columbus Young Professionals Club). Members of the Central Ohio community are invited to “make a date” for this unique event – one that combines a date auction for singles and couples with a fashion show featuring clothing from Columbus-area boutiques and shops. All proceeds raised from the event will benefit TWO local non-profit organizations; A Kid Again (formerly Adventures For Wish Kids) and Junior Achievement of Central Ohio. Last year more than 600 attended the event, which raised more than $15,000 for charity.

The event will run from 7:00-11:00pm at The Vault in downtown Columbus, where attendees can mix and mingle. Catering for the evening is generously donated by Jason’s Restaurant & Bar, Marcella’s, and Martini Modern Italian. At 8:00pm, be ready for an evening full of entertainment and fun as the date auction and fashion show begins. Emceeing the event will be Charley and Kate from Mix 97.1’s Mix Morning Show. As a twist on the traditional charity date auction, couples will be participating as well, allowing other couples the opportunity to go on a double date. Date participants will walk on stage modeling clothing and jewelry from local boutiques, showcasing the best of Columbus fashion and style.

The CYP Club also invites the media and general public to a special ‘A Date 2 Remember’ Preview Party hosted at Eleven at Hyde Park Steak House (on The Cap, 591 N. High Street) on January 21st, from 6:30-8:30pm to learn more about the event, purchase discounted tickets, mingle with date participants and sponsors, and find out about both charity beneficiaries. More than $200 in dining gift cards will be raffled off to those who purchase tickets at this Preview Party.

Tickets for ‘A Date 2 Remember’ are $25 in advance ($45 for a couple) and $35 at the door. Pre-sale tickets may be purchased online by visiting http://www.cypclub.com/ and clicking on ‘A Date 2 Remember.’
