In-person guests will enjoy silent and live auctions, wine and spirit pulls, guest speakers, plenty of comfort food, and dessert surprises. Virtual guests can watch the party, bid on silent auction items and enjoy a Furball goodie bag that organizers hope will make them feel like they’re part of the event.
“We are excited to be back in person and be able to offer a virtual option this year,” said HSforBC Executive Director Susan Austin.
