This is a campus-wide, inside/outside fundraising party to support the $250,000 restoration of the Battles historic home. As a unique perk, Women Creating A Legacy will be the first group invited to see this homestead. This White House was built in 1861 by Rush Battles, Charlotte’s father, and the restoration began in 2024 with a massive project including exterior painting. Additional restorations will be completed in 2025.
Sponsorships are available. See the attached list.
Tickets are priced at $100. Women 40 years and younger pay their age. For example, a 30-year-old woman pays $30.
Invitations will be mailed out in May. If you have any questions, or wish to receive an invitation, contact Geri Cicchetti, Advancement Director, at gcicchetti@eriehistory.org or 814-454-1813 x 34.
