This year’s Western-themed event will be held on Friday, November 7, at the Pavilion in Carolina Colours.
The event features two main highlights: a "Reverse Drawing," where the winning ticket will receive $5,000, and a Chair-ity Live Auction, showcasing 11 hand-painted chairs created by local artists. Other ways to support include the Playhouse/Garden Shed Raffle and a Silent Auction, offering gift cards, merchandise, and experiences.
Enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, giveaways, and line dancing!
Our goal is to raise $50,000 for this year’s event. Key contributors include Sponsorships, Reverse Drawing ticket sales, and the Chair-ity Live Auction.
