2:30 - 3:30 - children's face painter

3:00 - adult musical chairs

4:00 - raffle entries and silent auction bids will end and winners will be announced

You will have a chance to enter any of the raffle drawings and/or bid on silent auction items throughout the entire day. Raffle tickets must be purchased to enter. You can purchase raffle tickets the day of the benefit.

We will have a children's table set up with coloring pages and activity sheets throughout the day to keep the little ones busy.

{play musical chairs | win a CASH PRIZE!}

Make sure to stick around for musical chairs at 3:00.
Here's how it will work.

$10 to enter. The more entries the better because the winner takes 50% of the entry fee.

Example: If 30 adults enter, we will have $300. The winner will get $150 and Ariana's family will get the other $150.

Adults only : No pushing, No shoving
