The March 24 event includes cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and the silent auction, followed by a full course dinner at 6:00 p.m. and finally the live auction with renowned and spirited guest auctioneer, Eric Hummel.

“Our experience at Sacred Heart Academy has been so positive, this is our way of giving back to the school; our daughters are receiving such a top notch education and all funds raised at the auction will directly benefit the students,” said Terry Bowman, event co-chair.
