GiGi’s Playhouse, a non-profit Down syndrome awareness and educational center, will hold their inaugural gala and auction on Friday, May 3 from 7-11 p.m. at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville. The fundraising event will support opening a center in the Nashville community and feature both ‘live’ and ‘silent’ auctions to raise money.
The evening will feature live musical entertainment, dancing, and both silent and live auctions. Refreshments will be served, including hors d'oeuvres, desserts, wine and beer.
Some of the items on the auction block for this year include signed guitars from Grammy-Award winning artists The Black Keys and country music superstar Eric Church! We also have an array of silent auction items including naming a character in New York Times Bestselling author, Rachel Hawkins' next book series, two tickets and backstage passes to see Rascal Flatts in concert, tickets to the Nashville symphony, and much more!
