We will once again be working with ClickBid to present the works in an online silent auction format, BUT this year we will also be featuring an exclusive in person preview event, Thursday June 3, from 68pm. A very limited number of tickets will be sold, and many levels of sponsorship come with tickets. Refreshments will be served alongside live music.
