According to an Alex Foundation spokesperson, support for their fundraiser helps provide much-needed financial assistance in areas of academic and educational disparity.

“This benefit is helping to provide support for STEAM® particularly with rural, limited access and underserved students to have opportunities that they normally would not have.” STEAM® represents science, technology, engineering, plus architecture, and math. 

Tickets can be purchased at www.centralarkansastickets.com: $35 in advance and $45 on event day.
