August West Audio Visual Rentals Recently Provided Sound, Lighting and Large Screen Video for the Centurions Who Raised over $100,000 for a Large Non Profit Hospital.
Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- August West Audio Visual, a Tucson based Audio Visual rental and production company, was started in 1982 and has been doing the Centurions event for 18 Years. August West Audio Visual provides sound, lighting, large screen projection and production for this event at greatly reduced costs as well as money for sponsorship. Each year there is a different theme and the attendees dress up in various costumes for the costume contest which is held on stage. There is also a buffet, Casino, themed races, raffle, fireworks, six drink tickets and more all included in the ticket price which is tax deductable. Since 1968, the Centurions has raised more than $8 million for Carondelet Health Network, the area's largest Catholic nonprofit health-care system, which includes St. Mary's and St. Joseph's hospitals in Tucson and Holy Cross Hospital in Nogales, Arizona. The funds have provided equipment, facilities and programs ranging from the St. Mary's burn unit and an improved St. Mary's emergency department to hospice, rehabilitation services and outreach such as Tot Shots immunizations program. These are nonprofit hospitals, so this way they can get the money they need to maintain the hospitals and move health care ahead into the next century. Centurions' donations to the nonprofit Carondelet Foundation benefit people throughout the region. People from all over Tucson and Southern Arizona use Carondelet hospitals, and ultimately their donations help to keep the cost down and provide better care for everyone. The group of 100 active Centurions has become synonymous with grand charitable parties. Typically, the parties host 6,000-plus guests. One of the group's events raised nearly $500,000. They have a historic element to the parties. People like to come out and support a worthy cause and have a good time and enjoy a little nostalgia.
