Set sail with us for a spectacular voyage…
16th Annual Artists Against Abuse Benefit Gala
Overview
Begin charting your course for a magnificent journey aboard our luxurious yacht, once known as the Great Hall at Ross School. Once on board, take your time sipping cocktails and perusing both the silent auction of specially commissioned hand-painted 11’ x 14’ canvases and the unique selection of gift packages. Once the ship’s horn has sounded and you’ve made your way to the Captain’s Dinner, you’ll have the opportunity to bid live on several original works of art by vetted well known artists. We are expecting more than 250 passengers to sail away with us; we hope you’re one of them.
