Since the first event in 2019, Handbags for Hospice has raised a phenomenal $350,000+ for Rotary Hospice!

This year’s event will be the first time since 2019 that we get to welcome you all back in person! Bidding for silent auction items will still be done online, meanwhile the live auction portion of the evening will be done in-person. This year we will not be providing a live stream option of the event, the purchase of a ticket will be for in-person attendance on Thursday, October 19th and ensures you can bid on both silent and live auction items.

Doors will open at 6:00pm, and the formal portion of the evening begins at 7:00pm.

Bidding on silent auction items begins Sunday, October 15th at 7:00pm and will end at the close of the event on Thursday, October 19th.

Once again, we have an amazing evening lined up:

• Layne the Auctionista is back with their high-energy philanthro-tainment!
• Live & silent auction items
• The always popular Golden Ticket! Please note: tickets will be sold only on event night, from 6pm – 7pm.
• The Wine Wall returns! $20 will buy you a numbered cork that you redeem at the end of the night for a surprise bottle of wine of the same number.
• A welcome glass of bubbly, hors d’oeuvres, desserts plus the popular Candy Bar!

All this and a moving, personal story.

However you choose to participate please know your generous bidding has an impact on those needing the services of Rotary Hospice.
