Every year, hundreds of local and off-island businesses donate items for the Live and Silent Auctions.  They may include travel packages, exotic furniture, fine jewelry, art work and restaurant certificates.

$10,000 Cash Raffle
One of the most popular features of Las Vegas Night is the Cash Raffle.  The first place prize is $10,000 in cash!  The prize drawing is held towards the end of the event, and is the culmination of our evening of fun.  (Persons do not need to be present to win.)

1st Place - $10,000

3rd Place - $1,000

Montessori Class Artwork
Each class at VI Montessori School is creating an original piece of art to be sold in the Live Auction, with the proceeds benefiting each classroom.  Every year the quality of these pieces is exceptional, resulting in very competitive bidding among the students’ parents.

Ah We Band will be returning this year to provide exciting live music for your dancing enjoyment.
