Community Missions will hold its 22nd annual Sweetheart Dinner, presented by KeyBank, on Friday, Feb. 8, at the Sheraton Niagara Falls. The annual event benefits the agency’s crisis services, including the community soup kitchen, food pantry, clothes closet and emergency housing shelter, and will feature more than 100 baskets, gift cards, lottery tickets, silent auction items and numerous raffles.
The evening begins at 6 p.m. with basket viewing and cocktail hour. During this time, guests may purchase basket, raffle and 50/50 tickets, bid on silent auction items, visit the cash bar, and enjoy hors d’oeuvres, and live music by Celtic Cross. Dinner and a short program will begin at 7 p.m., with the calling of winners to follow.
For those that wish to stay the night, the Sheraton is offering a special room rate that evening of $59, with all resort fees waived, as the event’s hotel partner. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and donations of baskets, gift cards and auction items are welcomed.
