The Branford Achievement Council is gearing up for an evening of dining, auctions and entertainment to benefit scholarships for Branford High School seniors. The Gatsby Scholarship Gala will take place on Saturday, March 1, at 6:30 p.m., at First Baptist Church, located at 607 Suwannee Ave. NW, in Branford. Tickets for the event are $40 per person or $300 for a table of eight. Tickets can be purchased at Lafayette State Bank, the Law Office of Heather McInnis or Mirror Images Salon. Community members and businesses are encouraged to donate auction items to support the event. Organizers state last year’s gala featured an impressive array of auction items, and this year’s lineup is expected to be even better. Proceeds from the gala will directly fund scholarships for graduating Buccaneers.
