The Delaney at Georgetown continued its good neighbor efforts Dec 2-8 and raised $4000 for Heroes Night Out with a silent auction of 40 donated Christmas trees and wreaths. Delaney Director of Community Relations Tiffany Enos was the organizer of the event, which entertained more than 200 guests.
This is her third annual event; she created the event three years ago when she worked at The Legacy. “It was great to provide so much donated money to Austin Honor Flight and last year to the Williamson County Animal Shelter. I have a special place for veterans and we’re happy to give money to Heroes Night Out this year.”
The Delaney has other philanthropy efforts in the works and having just opened their assisted living residence, they have greater numbers every day to help support the community.
Many businesses and non-profit organizations donated the creative and themed trees and wreaths, including Georgetown Police and Fire Departments, Home Depot, Georgetown HS cheerleaders, Senator Charles Schwertner, St. Davids, and many more.
Heroes Night Out Resource Center is a veteran support group based in Cedar Park. They coordinate events, activities, and services for Veteran appreciation. They also support family members who are in need. Founding member Judy Pierce said, “We are so grateful for the support we received from the Delaney and so many other organizations in Georgetown and nearby. We have been many times blessed by the generosity of our neighbors and we are pleased to continue helping our veterans into 2017.”
