SABRA Sanctuary will be hosting its annual auction and dinner on Thursday, Feb. 18 to raise funds to help end domestic violence.

“We just want to invite everyone to come out and have a good time and help us support our mission,” said SABRA executive director Nancy Travis.

SABRA Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization that has a mission to end domestic violence and to assist domestic violence victims and their families.

The auction and dinner will be held at the George P. Evans Reception Hall, located at 2 Lawrence Street, beginning with a social hour and silent auction at 6 p.m.

Travis said the social hour will allow people a chance to participate in the silent auction and purchase raffle tickets before dinner. A live auction and raffle will follow later in the evening. This year’s theme is “Blue Jean and Bling.”

“We haven’t had a theme in a while,” Travis said. “We wanted to make it casual.”

Dinner, which will be catered by KFC, will be served at 7 p.m. The auction and raffle will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Travis said the nonprofit has a large variety of items to auction and raffle off, which includes a six night fishing trip in Canada, seven night trip to Cabin Murphy in North Carolina, beach vacations, hunting trips, a Yeti cooler, paintings by local artists and more.

“We try to do something for everybody,” Travis said. “You can at least buy a raffle ticket if you don’t buy an auction item.”

She said raffles will vary in price according to the value of what’s being raffled off, starting at $1. Tickets for the event can be purchased for $30 per individual or $200 for a table of eight. For information about purchasing tickets, contact Travis at (334) 877-4645.
