Don’t miss out on winning one of two amazing items available this year in our Opportunity Drawing!
Two different Opportunities are available this year. We are offering a bottle of _______ and a classic Louis Vuitton handbag!
Total Value of all items $3100.
This year even those at home will have the option of participating in the Opportunity Drawing. Once you have purchased your Silent Auction ticket, your General Admission ticket, the Contributing Patron ticket, or the Program Patron ticket (all of which give you access to the Silent Auction) please visit the Opportunity Drawing category in the HandBid App and you will see the two items available in the Opportunity Drawing. Tickets for the drawing are $20 each. Just purchase as many tickets as you want for the items and you will be entered into the drawing for that item. You do not need to be present to win. For those attending the event in-person, we suggest you wait until you are onsite to purchase your opportunity tickets. Online sales for Opportunity Tickets will close at 5:00 pm, 20 March. Onsite Opportunity Tickets will be available until 8:00 pm, 20 March.
