We have an annual gala to raise funds to support the clinic.  We have happy hour in the beginning for supporters to look at the silent auction and raffle items.  They can start bidding on those or buy tickets.  We have a sit down dinner and an emcee, a live auctioneer, and a DJ to keep the night entertaining.  It's a fun evening for all to dress up and go out.  Table sponsors get extra benefits and sit near the front of the stage to take it all in.  At the end we open up the dance floor to dance.
