On Thursday, June 21st from 6pm to 9:30pm, the United Way of Greater Lorain County will hold their Third Annual  Spellebrate Lorain County: A Night at the Bee! fundraiser at the Emerald Event Center in Avon.

Teams of four will compete for a  $1,000 grand prize, but it’s not just the spelling that will dictate how far a team goes. Spectators can help influence the outcome of the game by saving their favorite teams from elimination, and they too will have a chance at claiming a share of the jackpot!

WEOL’s own Bruce VanDyke will be the nights the official pronouncer. Earlier he spoke with the United Way’s Ryan Aroney about the event.

Proceeds from the event support of the Lorain County Volunteer Connection, a partnership between United Way and HandsOn. All money raised from the event will go towards supplies for ongoing volunteer projects and will allow local agencies to get more work done through the Lorain County Volunteer Connection.

Individual tickets for the event are $30 and include dinner and a drink ticket. A limited amount of team slots are still available. Registration for a team of four is $200, which also includes dinner and a drink ticket for all four team members. Team registration is available through June 14. Tickets and registration are available at uwloraincounty.org/spellebrate
