Mayor's Charity Ball Online Auction Goes Live Today

The Mayor's Charity Ball is fast approaching! Not only are there auction items for the night of the event, but the online auction goes live on May 2! Auction items include an exclusive tour of ESPN followed by dinner at Joey Garlics, tickets for Yard Goats and UConn Women's basketball games, tickets to the Hartford Symphony, and a private wine class for 20 at Total Wine and More.

The 17th annual Mayor's Charity Ball will be held on May 14 at West Hartford's Town Hall from 6:00 PM to midnight, hosted by Mayor R. Scott Slifka. The gala benefits two local charities - Playhouse on Park and The Town That Cares fund, and features cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and a silent auction held indoors, followed by an elegant dinner by Max Catering served under a grand tent on the lawn of Town Hall. After dinner, the more than 350 expected guests will be entertained by performers from Playhouse on Park, a live auction and dancing to music by the Metropolitan Players. Jim Altman from Fox 61 will again serve as emcee for the gala. The pre-event online auction begins on May 2 and extends until May 12. Some auction items may only appear online, and some will only be available to bid on at the event. Most items will be available in both venues, and the leading bid online will appear as the starting bid on the item's bid sheet at the event. Online auction participants do not have to attend to bid.

The auction can be found at www.BiddingForGood.com/MCB. The Mayor's Charity Ball, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is governed by a Board of Directors with the input and endorsement of the Mayor of West Hartford, the Honorable R. Scott Slifka. Last year, The Mayor's Charity Ball achieved "Best Charitable Event" by the Hartford Magazine's Reader's Poll.
