Dinner guests will indulge in a gourmet dinner prepared by X Groups Restaurants & Catering, bid on unique and exceptional packages during a live auction hosted by local auctioneer Jeff Randall, and join together to support a very special cause. After dinner guests will have full access to a VIP Lounge and the Twilight Stroll.
The evening continues under the stars with an additional feature of a 25 th Anniversary Twilight Stroll.
