The Orange Beach Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization is pleased to announce the plans for its Inaugural Drawdown to benefit the Orange Beach Elementary School.

The event, “Fools Gold,” will be on April 1 with the purse or “pot” being $5,000!

The event will be at the Community Center in Orange Beach. Tickets for the event are $100 per couple.

There will be live music for dancing the night away, as well as a gourmet dinner served/catered by Shipps Harbour Grill. Soft beverages will be served and guests are welcome to bring beverages of their choice. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

“This fantastic event will raise much-needed funds for the organization, as it pertains directly to the teacher and school’s needs,” said Farrah Keel, OBES PTO President. “We have all been affected by the economy’s downturn these past few years, and schools are some of the hardest hit. An event like this offers the community a chance to participate in a fundraiser to benefit Orange Beach’s Elementary School. People can have a great time, and best of all- have a chance to go home with a fabulous cash prize!”

Tickets for this event are available through the OBES PTO, directly. Please contact any of the members below.
