Our Silent Raffle is a fun interpretation of the popular, tried and true silent auction. Rather than bid on just a limited number of personally desirable items, and hope that you have the winning bid, guests will instead purchase an unlimited amount of tickets for a chance to win any one - or more - of many tempting items ranging from sparkling jewelry to special dinners, mysterious magician events to golfing vacations.
Our Live Auction takes place after dinner and the Heroes Award presentation, where guests enjoy the excitement of the bidding competition for a limited number of one-of-a-kind amazing items. Items currently include:
