Willie, a 1989 graduate of DeVillbiss, played football and
was on the wrestling team. Kerry, a 1987 graduate of Scott,
says of herself, “I was the class clown, period!”
It took them two weeks to plan the first cabaret and the
rest is Bulldog/Tiger history. Now in its fourth year, the
Scott/DeVilbiss Throwback cabaret, a/k/a The Dogs and
Tigers Throwback, has given the Emerys the opportunity to
give back to the schools that gave so much to them. Although
Devillbiss is no more, Kerry says, “We
both agreed that we wanted to give back so we decided to
allow the cheerleading and the track coaches from Scott,
work the room and raise funds to offset some of their
costs.”
Each year, vendors are
given to opportunity to sell merchandise in order to raise
money for their organization. This year’s
vendors were Carvella Smith and Marvin Gardner who provided
set-ups. Proceeds will benefit the Scott High School track
team.
Andreania Allen conducted the 50/50 raffle and all proceeds
will benefit the cheerleading squad. Shapeme Jeans not only
gave a pair of custom made jeans to the winner of the 50/50
raffle but also donated $500 in the Emerys' name to the
Scott High School cheerleading squad.
Other vendors included
Celeste Smith of Celestial Treats, Erika
Garza along with her dream team, Cynthia Warner and Kim
Stafford who sold authentic Mexican tacos, part of the
proceeds will benefit the track team and cheerleading squad.
Darryl Nash provided alumni gear (t-shirts, hats,
scarves, hoodies, etc.) and Albert Earl and Wakeso Peterson
captured the entire evening taking pictures.
Music was provided by DJ Kaj Boogie
and DJ MPress. The Emery’s also made a special
introduction of Ian English who will be
running for Judge for the Lucas County Common Pleas Court.
“At the end of the
day, this cabaret is about bringing all of us together to
have a good time and get in the spirit of giving back to our
community,” says Kerry.
The Emerys asked The Truth to thank
everyone who attended the 4th Annual Scott/DeVilbiss
Throwback Cabaret. |
