The Motown Historical Museum’s annual fund-raising gala will take place Nov. 13 at Arturo’s Jazz Theatre and Restaurant in Southfield.
Featuring performance by the Velvelettes and ex-Temptations member Ali Ollie Woodson, the event will benefit the nonprofit museum, which relies heavily on corporate support to maintain operations.
The gala is also a prelude to Motown’s upcoming 50th anniversary festivities, which will kick off internationally in early 2009.
Tickets are $150 and include admission to a reception preceding the 9 p.m. show. VIP packages are also available. Call 313-875-2266 for information.
The annual fund-raiser typically features a host of notable Motown names, and has become an unofficial alumni gathering for veterans of the Detroit musical institution.
Arturo’s is at 25333 W. 12 Mile Rd., inside the Star Southfield complex.
