Tickets will be sold through this website starting in April.  You may purchase single or couples tickets OR purchase a table for 8.  Purchasing a table for 8 ensures you sit with your friends. Start planning now!  

Are you offering any disounts?

This is a fundraiser event to benefit our school and all proceedes got directly to our cause.  We have heard your desire for some special ticket pricing so this year we are happy to offer 32 half off tickets for ER staff, a $100 discount for purchasing an entire table of 8, and a $25 discount if you attend both the golf event and dinner auction.  We truly hope this helps and brings more people to the event this year!  We love to see so much community support!
