### Get Event API Call

Retrieves an existing event in AES database and returns the event name with summations of current sales and payments.

Silent and Live auction sales are not included, as those may still be open for bidding and not yet finalized.

Pending credit card payments are not included, until they are actually processed and approved by the bank.

Only events where the organization matches the given API key will be returned.
