Tino Bernadett and Martha Molina Bernadett have been supporters of Thea Foundation, an organization that advocates the importance of the arts in the development of Arkansas’s youth for several years.
To continue their support of Thea Foundation, Tino Bernadett attended their recent fundraiser, “Into the Blue”.
About Into the Blue
Into the Blue, one of the major fundraisers of Thea Foundation, was held Sept. 17 at the University of Arkansas-Pulaski Technical College Center for Humanities & Arts. Faustino Bernadett believes that Into the Blue boosts the arts education in Arkansas which is a great feat as it both aids the Into the Blue but also promotes the local talent that Arkansas offers.
Into The Blue: What Happened
A tent that had been set up in front of the center where guests like Tino Bernadett indulged in drinks, including a blue trademark cocktail, and heavy appetizers. When the starting time came near, Faustino Bernadett, like the other invitees, waited for the host, Craig O’Neill. To start the program. There were great performances to entertain the guests such as Jacob Keith Watson, singing "Streets of Dublin" from "A Man of No Importance"; Tre Whitley, giving a monologue; Amy Bramlett Turner & the Hot Springs Dance Troupe, performing from the song "Imagine"; and Katie Emerson, singing "Thank You for Being a Friend."
Of course, the highlight of the evening was presenting the Pillar of the Arts Award to Thea Foundation co-founder Paul David Leopoulos. There were even video tributes that came from former President Bill Clinton, as well as husband-and-wife actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen.
