Get ready for an unforgettable Girls’ Night Out! ✨
Please have guest names and email addresses ready when reserving your table and encourage everyone to register in advance—while all guests will still check in upon arrival, this helps the line move much faster. This year’s mobile auction requires registration and a credit card on file for anyone participating in fundraising throughout the night, so completing it ahead of time ensures you’re ready to bid, win, and enjoy the night without delay! 💃
All funds raised stay local in the Quad Cities to fund social and emotional support as well as educational workshops and healthy lifestyle activities to those in our community impacted by cancer. All available at NO COST to those that participate because of your generosity at this and other events throughout the year.
