Have not attended and want to know more? This is a very fun, 21 and older evening at Wildhorse Golf Club, for staff and families (current and graduated). There is dinner, and 2 alcoholic/nonalcoholic drink tickets included and more available for purchase. Online and live auction items available to bid on. Some of us come dressed in theme and some come in what makes them feel most comfortable. We end the night with bidding on desserts, sharing them among new, old friends, and staff. As well as dancing and games!!
You have not volunteered and are just not sure how you can help a little to make a BIG impact?? If you aren't able to attend, we still need help with preparations and donations. There are so many ways to contribute, if you are on the fence on how to help, please email me or our fundraiser chair, Heather Theisen who's working really hard to make our auction a success ([email protected])
