“Stonebridge Financial has sponsored this event every year since its inception three years ago,” said Managing Partner Jeff Ivory. “Volunteers of America Michigan’s Adopt a Family is a program that our firm really gets behind every year and we hope other members of the area’s business community will too. Your donations provide items such as new clothes, toys or a gift and food for a family, which we often take for granted but are much needed for area families in need this holiday season.”

The event will include food, music, great company and lots of great surprises throughout the evening! There will be a live and silent auction and our annual wine bottle drawing and donation table that one lucky guest will go home with an exclusive piece of jewelry from Lucido Fine Jewelry.

Tickets are $100. For more information and to purchase tickets please visit, www.athletesadoptingfamilies.com or www.voami.org
