Frank Robino Companies presented the Beebe Medical Foundation with a check for $9,500, making the company the largest corporate sponsor of the 18th Annual Best of the Beach Art Auction Dinner & Dance.
"Corporate sponsorships are a huge part of the proceeds from this event and it's so exciting that the Robinos have helped us exceed our goal," said Lacy Letonoff, of PNC Wealth Management and Chairperson of the Corporate Sponsorship Committee.
To date, $144,600 has been raised from sponsors and underwriters, already surpassing the goal of $130,000. The proceeds from the 18th Art Auction will support Beebe Medical Center's new Tunnell Cancer Center, located at the Beebe Health Campus on John J. Williams Highway (Route 24) in Rehoboth Beach.
"Beebe's Art Auction continues to be the best event of the year, and it raises money for such a great cause," said Mark Robino of Frank Robino Companies. "We're helping our friends and neighbors in this community in their fight against cancer."
Frank Robino Companies has developed communities throughout Delaware for more than 50 years and has built more than 20,000 homes. The Robino name is on communities throughout Delaware such as The Arbors of Cottagedale and Kings Creek Country Club in Rehoboth Beach.
The Robino family is a strong supporter of healthcare. Jennifer Robino, who has volunteered for the Art Auction for several years, is chairing this year's event.
"I'm lucky because I get to have a great time planning this party and then enjoy the committee's efforts on the night of the event!" said Jennifer Robino. "We have more than 60 people helping to plan the event this year, and everyone is working so hard."
Beebe Medical Foundation's 18th Annual Best of the Beach Art Auction Dinner & Dance will be held on June 9 at 6 p.m. until l1:30 p.m. under the largest tent erected on the site of the Beebe Health Campus.
