SOC Mad Men Live Auction & Gala

The Swinging Sixties gala will be held on Friday, September 28, 2012 at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club where guests will browse an exquisite selection of silent auction items, and have the opportunity to participate in an exciting live auction boasting more extravagant items such as a week’s stay in a luxury condo in Umbria, Italy or Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  The night will also feature a fabulous gourmet dinner, various raffles, and a live performance by the Rick Lieder band.

Services for Older Citizens (SOC) is holding two exciting “Mad Men” themed fundraising events in the month of September featuring fab food, swingin’ entertainment, live and silent auctions and more! The annual auctions are SOC’s largest fundraisers and the proceeds generate 25 percent of SOC’s  revenue for one year.  “The auctions are our only major fundraisers for the entire year and the funds we raise make all the difference for how we are able to serve our seniors for the upcoming year,” says Sharon Maier, SOC Executive Director.  Proceeds help SOC continue and expand vital programs such as Meals on Wheels, Home Repair and Information and Assistance. 

“SOC is a wonderful organization,” says Gioconda McMillan.  “It fills a critical need for Grosse Pointe seniors.”  Gioconda and her husband, Thayer, are the honorary chairs for this year’s events.
