Join us in honoring 10 do-gooders from the Capital Region—and raising money for the charities they represent – at the 7th Annual Capital Region Gives Back Fundraiser. The evening will feature a complimentary welcome drink, cash bar, complimentary buffet dinner by Mazzone Hospitality, live entertainment, emcee Benita Zahn and a photo booth by Music Man Entertainment.
Here’s how it works:
1. Decide which honoree and cause to support. (We know, it’s hard!) To help, please read their amazing stories using the below links.
2. Choose that charity or nonprofit when buying your tickets.
3. Fifty percent of the cost of your ticket will go directly to that cause. The rest will support local journalism!
4. Show up on December 2 for a feel-good, festive evening of food, drinks and music and to see which honoree raised the most for his or her charity or nonprofit! (This is a cocktail-style event; there is no formal seating)
