The evening will begin with a complimentary signature cocktail, cash bar, and silent auction bidding beginning at 5:30 p.m. As final bids are made, you'll be invited to enter the ballroom to find your table and get ready for an exciting game of Heads or Tails. The chef is preparing a delicious dual-entree meal and dessert to be served during live auction bidding.

Paddles will be flying during Fund-A-Cause as we raise money for a campus project to be announced that evening. Stay for music and dancing, or go straight to check out and take home your winning items. DJ GPP will be back again this year to play all of the tunes you love to dance to until 11:00 p.m. See you there!
