No, there are no paper tickets. Once we receive your ticket purchase online or through the mail, you are added to our guest list. When you arrive at the venue you can check-in using your last name in order to receive your name badge with bidding number, and seating assignment. Couples with different last names will be assigned to the primary purchaser (if confused, please ask at check-in). This is the same for guests of table hosts or sponsors. If we have received your name as a guest, you will have your individual name badge waiting for you at check-in.

Yes, a portion of each ticket includes a tax deductible donation ($100 for early bird tickets, $150 after October 1). Your ticket confirmation can serve as your receipt for tax purposes. If you purchase tickets online, you will receive an email confirmation. If you send in a check, you will receive a mailed letter.

Returning to the beautifully renovated Armory, our gala will embrace the art deco theme and encourages attire reminiscent of the 1920/30s.

A wonderful combination of community members, philanthropists, corporate sponsors, staff, board members, and patients with family and friends.
