  • HIRED’s first event featuring music, food and cocktails – for a good cause!
 
On June 17, nearly 100 donors, community members, business partners and HIRED staff joined together for HIRED’s first Night Shift.  Friends and supporters enjoyed music from HIRED’s former youth counselor and program manager, Adam Levy, and had fun bidding on over 50 silent auction items – from vacation packages to some of the best seats at the Twins stadium.
    
Reviews of the evening were universally positive:

“What a great event – HIRED has needed something like this for a long time… a fantastic evening with spectacular silent auction items.  Great music, great atmosphere and great food!”

“It was just plain fun.  From the venue to the food to the entertainment to the incredible silent auction, I loved it!  It was so refreshing to socialize with my coworkers and others that support HIRED.  I truly hope there will be more events like this in the future.” 

Thank you to all those who donated auction items, who sponsored the event and who attended. The Night Shift simply would not have been such a success without your generosity.
