The annual event raises funds for the Mansfield Mission Center, allowing the non-profit group to support local families with food, medical care and other assistance.
"The support we receive through this event allows us to continue to serve families who live in the Mansfield area,” said Brian McFadden, executive director of the Mansfield Mission Center. “Many families who are living paycheck to paycheck when a crisis hits, families who don't have regular medical care but have health issues that need to be addressed, even families who have to choose between buying gas for their car to get to work or buying food for their family just need a little help to get them through their tough time. Our community is so great at caring for our neighbors in need and it's our privilege to be the organization that so many families can trust and rely on for help.”
Tickets are $50 and available here. Foodie tickets ($150) include access to a cocktail reception from 5-6 p.m. Free valet parking will be provided.
