Celebrity DJ WooWoo, from 94.9 The Point Radio, will be the MC for the evening, live music by Connected and Spare Change will keep the evening lively, and guests will enjoy delicious cuisine and libations throughout the evening.  A silent and live auction will offer opportunities to win original art, specialty gifts and amazing experiences to enjoy with friends.  Virginia Auction Company will provide an auctioneer for the event, and a list of the highly sought after auction items will be posted before the event!
