The event will include a night of gaming, prizes, silent and live auctions. Portrait photographs of each guest or couple will be taken as mementos of the evening. A glass of sparkling wine will help welcome guests to the party. A cash bar will be offered, along with gaming and dancing to hot music provided by DJ Jeanne Naber. 

A silent auction will include home decor items, artwork, jewelry, gift packages and gift certificates for spa services and restaurants. The live auction will include a chance to win a Christmas or New Year's three-night get-away for four adults in the Big Apple at a luxurious Manhattan apartment or a one-week stay in a private home in “old Florida” for four adults on the Nature Coast.

Proceeds will be used, through Haywood Healthcare Foundation's Drug Abuse Coalition with Haywood County Law Enforcement, to purchase the following:

• Narcan, a nasal inhalant that instantly reverses overdoses from opioid prescription drugs, such as Oxycodone and Percoset, as well as heroin. 

• Blister packs of Acetaminophen/Tylenol and Ibuprofen, which, when taken together, provide powerful pain relief. These blister packs will be distributed to local physicians through a partnership with Haywood County Law Enforcement and Drs. Teater and Pass, in an effort to reduce prescriptions for opioid drugs.

• AEDs (defibrillators) to be carried in Haywood County patrol cars, which currently have none. These defibrillators allow officers, often first on the scene of a cardiac emergency, to quickly administer aid and save lives.

Tickets are $100 each and include gaming chips, a door prize ticket, heavy hors d’oeuvres and a complimentary drink ticket.
