CORTLAND, OH, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Avamar Foundation Invites Public to 16th Annual Fundraiser, Historic Art Event August 17
The Avamar Foundation invites art enthusiasts, philanthropists, and classical music lovers to its 16th annual fundraiser, “An Evening Under the Stars,” at the Cadobaz Estate, Bazetta Township, Cortland, Ohio. The event features the historic reveal of America’s tallest freestanding marble sculpture, Lady Kindness.
Created and commissioned by Avamar Foundation founder Farid Naffah, MD, director of the Avamar Gastroenterology and Center for Endoscopy, Warren, Ohio, Lady Kindness is dedicated to the ideals of kindness to one another during difficult times.
According to Dr. Naffah, “Ohio stone carver Dale Johnson and portraitist Laura Bush helped make my vision tangible. Their work enabled the Italian company Garfagnana Innovazione to actualize the one-of-a-kind work as it is today.”
Lady Kindness was conceived six years ago by Dr. Naffah in the likeness of the Goddess of Kindness. This year’s event, with ticket sales open to the public, marks the first exhibition of the final 80-ton work of art, which is believed to be the largest freestanding marble sculpture in America.
In addition to the dedication of Lady Kindness, the event will feature a 50-piece orchestra under the direction of conductor Lonnie Klein, with classical pianist Halida Dinova performing works by Ravel and Rachmaninoff. An assortment of fine wines and delicacies, and a dedicated art exhibit hosted by Natasha Turovsky, will complement the affair concluding with a pops concert under the direction of Mariano Longo. The Cadobaz Estate (Culture, Arts and Dining of Bazetta) is renowned throughout Ohio for its beautiful natural surroundings, refined architecture, and numerous works of art.
Tickets are on sale now at ladykindness.com/event or by calling (234) 830-2060. Presale tickets are available through July 12. All event proceeds go towards providing temporary financial assistance for medications needed by those 55 and older, with a portion of ticket prices tax deductible.
