The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a reception, followed by a silent auction and dinner. Tickets are $125 each or $1,250 for a table of 10. Sponsors are needed for the event. Sponsorship benefits vary based on level, and opportunities include the following:

$1,250 – Safari Guide, table sponsors

Auction items are needed, as well as volunteers to help plan the event and on the evening of the gala. “This will be our largest fundraising event for the year. It will also serve as an opportunity for CareNow to thank its many generous supporters,” said Ed Bjurstrom, founder of CareNow.
