Thank you for thinking of our local couples & families to have the opportunity to attend in your absence. You will purchase tickets through the Tickets & Sponsors page. Select Sponsor a Family to attend. You have the option to remain anonymous with your contribution if you'd like. When you complete registration, you will receive both an email confirmation of your purchase and seperately a link to forward tickets.

What is GIVI?
The Givi App is the online bidding tool you will need to have access to for the event. This app will allow you to partipicipate in the Silent & Live Auction, as well as other fun things like our Wine Grab at the event! After you register you will receive several automated emails with links to download the app. We highly suggest setting up your account & credit card info prior to the Gala event to save time at the event.
What if I have trouble with the Givi App?
The app has its own FAQs section we suggest you check out first. We will have a few dedicated staff at the event who can assist in setting up your access if you have any trouble ahead of time.
