Clarksville, TN – Shelby’s Trio was the location for this year’s Clarksville Academy Blue & Gold Auction, with a live auction, a silent auction, and a student artwork section from which proceeds are put back into the student art program.
Kaleigh Goostree is CA’s Director of Development. “I’m in charge of fundraising, some event planning, and alumni relations,” Goostree said. “This is our 3rd annual Blue and Gold Auction. It has become our largest fundraiser, and we have been blessed with some wonderful supporters at CA.
“Each year we focus on a specific project. Last year it was the renovation of the Brenda Stone building. This year’s funds will go to safety and security updates at the main campus, our sports complex, and our new building.”
Nearly 100 attended the event, enjoying great food from Trattoria di Cat, a live painting by Olasubomi Aka-Bashorun, and the always-entertaining auctioneer skills of Shane McCarrell.
