San Antonio-Based Children's Home to Hold Annual Platinum Jubilee and Auction
(PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Tickets are now on sale for the Boysville Platinum Jubilee and Auction in San Antonio, Texas. This year’s event celebrates 70 years of Boysville, which provides a safe and loving home for children who have been abused or neglected.
This year’s auction will be held Friday, August 23, at 6:30 p.m. at the J.W. Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa. It will feature live entertainment, a five-star meal, silent auction and live auction, featuring packages such as a trip to the scenic Montana countryside, hunting puppies and a girls’ night out with VIP tickets to the P!nk concert.
"The auction is our single, largest fundraiser of the year," said Nicolas Rangel, a board member at Boysville. "This is really our only ask of the community – to come out to our auction and support us. Our obligation back to the community is to put on the best show we possibly can."
Tickets to the auction are $175, and they can be purchased at the Boysville Auction website.
"Ultimately, we’re doing it for the kids," said Rangel. "Every dollar that goes into this auction has a direct impact on the kids."
