By Pam Link, The Shepherd’s Center of Kernersville Board of Directors, and Chair of the Auction Committee
Back by popular demand, The Shepherd’s Center of Kernersville is presenting the Blue Jean Gala, our 27th Annual Auction Gala on April 3 at Summerfield Farms. The evening festivities will kick off at 6:30 p.m. with a silent auction showcasing items in the following categories: beauty/spa, arts and entertainment, children’s corner, sports, health and fitness, pets, home and garden, automotive, relaxing getaways, and food and beverages.
The evening also includes a tasty meal catered by Above and Beyond Catering with complimentary beer and wine provided by R.H. Barringer Distributing, Inc. and American Premium Beverage Inc. Other highlights include the popular “Fitzpedia” – a wine, beer and spirit pull, restaurant wild card, and a live auction with some very appealing items and experiences.
The “GOLDEN TICKET” will be introduced this year! Purchase a “GOLDEN TICKET” for $50 to be in a drawing for your choice of one of the live auction items before it begins. What a great deal for one lucky person, a $50 donation to a worthy cause for an opportunity to win an incredible prize!
