Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom (CB2TB) announces its second annual gala and auction, which will be held from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 20 at the Richmond Hill City Center, 520 Cedar Street.
Military and civilian families are invited to this family-friendly fundraiser. Proceeds raised from this event will benefit the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and its mission to assist veterans transitioning to civilian life.
This multifaceted event is designed to recognize our nation’s military members and demonstrate the impact that CB2TB has in helping veterans after they leave military service. The fundraising gala will feature entertainment by DJ MicLoud Spice Nice, a delicious dinner served by the Richmond Hill City Center, and presentations by keynote speakers including Roy W. Minter, Savannah Chief of Police, Major Jason Sakelarios with the Richmond Hill Police Department, and Nick Westbrook, owner and operator of Chick-Fil-A Hinesville. In addition, the Chick-Fil-A cow mascot will be in attendance for photo opportunities!
“Richmond Hill is back and CB2TB is excited to kick off the holiday season in style! We are honored to offer this opportunity to celebrate our community’s military and veteran families, while raising funds,” said CB2TB Co-Founder Lynnetta Smith. “Bring your significant other, the kids, or just enjoy a fun-filled night out with friends!”
The event will kick off at 6 p.m. with a cocktail hour allowing guests the opportunity to bid on silent auction items and peruse booths featuring local vendors such as Gigi’s Boutique and Bonna Bella Candles. At 6:45 p.m., CB2TB Co-Founder Lynnetta Smith will give a welcome speech and share highlights about the organization, after which guests will be invited to enjoy a buffet-style dinner and continue bidding on silent auction items. At 7:45 p.m. there will be recognition of special guests and presentations. At 9 p.m. the live auction will begin, hosted by auctioneer Robert Malinowski, and silent auction winners will be announced.
