All proceeds from the event are split 50\/50. Last year a total of 450 tickets were sold and auction proceeds exceeded over $80,000.<\/p>\n<p>A social hour and silent auction will begin at 5 p.m. During this time participants are encouraged to check out the large variety of gift baskets and other items available and place silent bids.<br \/>\nThe buffet dinner will be served from 6\u20137:30 p.m.<br \/>\nThe live auction will kick off at 7 p.m. This is your chance to bid on some great deals while contributing to an outstanding cause.<\/p>\n<p>All proceeds from the auction go directly to scholarships.
