From a UW press release:

Cardinal Key, the University of Wyoming junior honorary, will hold its annual banquet and art auction to benefit Juvenile Diabetes Research, "Hearts of Gold." The event will be Saturday, Feb. 23, in the Wyoming Union Yellowstone Ballroom in Laramie.

Doors open at 5 p.m. with a silent auction and dinner served at 6 p.m. All proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Juvenile Research Foundation International. For more information or for tickets, e-mail Kimberly Cranford at kimvc@uwyo.edu or Sandy Smylie at ssmylie@uwyo.edu.

The silent auction will consist of gift certificates and other items from local businesses. Three meal options, all diabetes-friendly, will be provided by French Creek Catering.


A highlight will be a live art auction featuring donated artwork from galleries in Jackson Hole. This includes eight prints and an ironwood bear from Buffalo Trail Galleries. The auction will also include pieces by Robert Summers, Roy Kerswill, Henry Holdsworth, and Jim Wilcox.

The evening will also feature a testimonial from a child with diabetes and entertainment by UW's Happy Jack Singers. Dress is formal.
