We are excited to share some sneak peeks at the empowHer gala auction items.

We have several getaways in this year's auction, including trips to Africa, Orlando, Argentina, Kissimmee, and Jamestown, Rhode Island.

Are you interested in tickets? We have the Hartford Yard Goats, the Hartford Wolf Pack, The Kate, the Legacy Theatre, and the Live Nation Hartford Amphitheater. 

You may focus on some new jewelry from Water Street Jewelers, Christo Jewelers, and Willow & Birch, or you are looking to add something to your wardrobe from J. McLaughlin, Creek Chi Boutique, or Angie-Lu. 

How about a fun time with your friends or family? Enjoy a fun night out for 16 with reserved tables dressed for you and your friends at one of Bishop's Friday or Saturday-night live music concerts through the summer! You and your guests will enjoy charcuterie boards and light appetizers, drinks (max. 2 per person) from their wine and beer bar, as well as your choice of food from either the pizza truck or the smoke shack! 

Are you looking for gift cards? We got you covered! We have dozens you can bid on. To name a few… Walker Loden, Maggie's of Madison, Fringe Moderns & Vintages, Possessions, Oasis, Style by Carol Ann, Guilford Sporting Goods, Fried Up, Grand Apizza, Ashley's Ice Cream, Blazing Fresh Donut, Saldamarcos's Deli, J Cakes, Lenny's, The Dressing Room Boutique, Flutterby, Guilford Mooring, Ballous, Gentlemen's Social Club, R J, Julia's and more. 

We have items for pet lovers that include a personalized hoodie with your fur baby, a personalized painting of your fur baby, or even a goodie basket with everything your fur baby would love. 

Maybe you want to host a private lead wine tasting in your home for 8, where you will learn about the different regions, microclimates, and the various influences that define a finished wine while talking about each wine's sight, smell, and taste. Along with Hors d'Oeuvres, for your party of 8. 

How does a pizza truck party for up to 50 people sound? An unlimited amount of large variety of hand-tossed pizzas prepared on-site with top-quality ingredients and baked in a wood-fired oven. Salads, desserts as well. It's everything you need to have a successful party.

Want to learn about chocolate with in-depth tasting and even create someone of your own, or how about a tea tasting? Are you more interested in taking a steam train riverboat excursion or a cruise around the Thimble Islands? We gave that too.

We have pampering spa packages, trips to the salon, gym memberships, and even some laser therapy at a chiropractor. 

Are you looking into redoing the lighting on your property or need professional advice for interior design help? If so, we have you covered on that too!

Or maybe with the cost of heat rising, you would want 100 gallons of heating oil. Or perhaps you need some work done on your car or a AAA membership. 

Whatever it is, the empowHer gala silent and live auction will indeed have something for everyone!

However, you can only bid if you have a ticket to the empowHer gala. So stop waiting and get your ticket today before it's too late. 

We hope to see you at the empowHer gala!
