The luncheon starts at 11:30 am with a wine reception and a fabulous silent auction. During lunch there will be a small live auction by Neil Saffer while local CBS12 News Anchor Liz Quirantes has once again graciously agreed to serves as the celebrity emcee. 

The proceeds benefit Grandma’s Place, which provides shelter and loving care to children who have suffered abuse or neglect and have been removed from their homes, and also provides respite care for young children with disabilities while offering support to their parents/caregivers to maximize each child’s safety and success.

Tickets are $200 per person or tables for $2,000.  To receive an invitation, donate an auction item, purchase a ticket, place an ad in the event program, or sponsor the event, please call Roxanne Jacobs at 561-376-0488, e-mail at [email protected] or visit www.granhttps://www.grandmasplacepb.org/grandmas-angels-holiday-luncheon/dmasplacepb.org .
