The Big Event

It's time for our community and supporters to gather and celebrate all the great things happening with our food and clothing programs! With more volunteers helping us this year, we have more stories to share with you. Event night is almost upon us which means online ticket purchase access is now closed, but please contact Teri Temby at (313)-610-8054 in regards to buying a ticket in person. The doors to The Big Event open at 6pm Thursday, October 20th. There is an open seating plan for guests to choose where they want to sit, except for certain ticket purchases that reserve a table. Please come dressed in your business casual attire and be ready to peruse the many food stations available! We offer a tasty selection of deluxe appetizers and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages.

Our food and beverage stations encourage you to move about as you mingle with people and search for your favorite auction items, all while listening to the entertainment provided by The Jerry Perrine - Old Time Piano Music Group; you can listen to their music ahead of time, linked here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn-VHiHz3jWuOcMUhSR3Q_g. Bring cash to participate in the 50/50 raffle, and remember to bring your cell phone so you can easily bid online and get a speedy check out at the end of the night in the silent auction! The silent auction begins on October 17th at 5pm and continues until The Big Event ends on the evening of October 20th. The first section of the auction will close at 7pm, following the last section at 7:30pm. The online access is free so you can register in advance and bid anytime between now and while at the event! Please follow the link here to browse auction items and place your bids: https://auctions.networkforgood.com/auction_item_l... There will also be 10 baskets available at the event which don’t require electronic bidding. Guests may purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win the baskets of their choice and they must be present to win!
