Last year's event raised $18,495 to support Adult Volunteer and Family Literacy programs, as well as English and citizenship conversation groups.

The community is invited to "Get Involved!" Spectator tickets will be sold at the door for $5. Refreshments and a cash bar will be available.

The event will also feature a gift basket raffle. Local businesses or residents are encouraged to make a donation to support this popular part of the event.

The agency is accepting gift cards to restaurants, stores, spas/salons, entertainment venues, etc., as well as fine-quality gifts such as gourmet foods/candy, bath and body products, gifts for the home, and more.
