Fundraiser to Benefit Gwinnett Seniors

Friends raised over $31,000 at last year's silent auction to benefit Gwinnett seniors.

Gwinnett, GA – Lights, Camera, Auction! Step out onto the red carpet. The focus will be on you. You will be the celebrity for the night. Leave all your worries behind and come out and enjoy yourself. We will cater to your needs by offering delectable hors d’oeuvres, sparkling drinks and entertainment - all this and more to benefit the Gwinnett County seniors.

This spectacular event is the annual silent auction hosted by The Friends of Gwinnett County Senior Services (Friends). It will be held at Delmar Gardens of Gwinnett on Thursday, July 24 from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. Delmar Gardens is located at 3100 Club Drive in Lawrenceville.

FOGCSS is a private, nonprofit organization run by volunteers. Their fundraising efforts have been crucial to the funding of programs to benefit the senior citizens of Gwinnett, especially the Meals on Wheels program. The program helps to serve over 70,000 meals to homebound senior clients while meeting their daily nutritional needs.

The auction will feature items and services donated by local businesses and individuals along with big-ticket items such as roundtrip airline tickets, weekend get-a-ways, and Braves Baseball tickets and apparel.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. The event will take place on Thursday, July 24 from 6:00pm until 8:30pm. Ticket price includes admittance to the event, entertainment, food and beverages, a door prize ticket and participation in the silent auction.
