The Big Event 2026

It's time for our community and supporters to gather and celebrate serving our community with hope and dignity. We can't wait to share our joy for serving the community with all of our friends and supporters!

The doors to The Big Event open at 6pm Thursday, April 30, 2026. 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. Your admission includes an array of deluxe appetizers as well as beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages.

You will be able to mingle with other community supporters, enjoy the refreshments while you search for your favorite auction items and enjoy the entertainment.

Bring cash to participate in the 50/50 raffle, raffle items and to tip the bartender. We are excited to finally be able to return to in-person bidding for our raffle items! The first section of the auction will close at 8:15 pm, and the last section at 8:30pm. The 50/50 winner will be announced at 8:45.

Raffle winners need not be present to win. Bring a non perishable pantry item to be entered to win a door prize!
