The event will consist of a dinner of sirloin steak and stuffed shrimp, and a silent auction. Local sponsors and professional designers will decorate trees and wreaths.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Good Samaritan Hospice. The hope is to build a Hospice House to provide comfort care to patients and their families during the end-of-life care in a peaceful setting.
