Newswise — Metro Detroiters will dress up in their best Edwardian finery and “Return to Downton” on Saturday, May 20, for an Afternoon Tea & Auction event to benefit the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA). “Return to Downton” will feature a Downton Abbey theme, period music by pianist Will Bennett, themed auction and raffle items; surprise guests; and a “Dress Up for Downton” contest with prizes — all at The Whitney, Detroit’s iconic Romanesque-revival mansion-restaurant.
Tickets are available online at http://return2downton.eventbrite.com or by calling (586) 776-3900.
Proceeds will be used for autoimmune awareness, patient education and support services.
