Starting the day off with a golf tournament with approximately 200 golfers and ending the evening with a fabulous cocktail hour, dinner and auction for 200+ guests. In 2012, NBC's Anchor & Reporter, Willie Geist, graciously emceed the event and auctioneer Jamie Niven helped raise $200,000+ solely with the auction.
