The event, which has raised over $380,000 for children's organizations and family-oriented projects in the Rhinelander community, will be held Saturday, March 2 at the Hodag Banquet Center (formerly The Taj), 1540 Pueblo Dr., Rhinelander.
Doors open at 5 p.m. and the drawings begin at 6 p.m.
Ticket prices are $45. Only 500 tickets will be sold for the event and are available from any Kiwanian, at Peoples State Bank on Lincoln Street, or by calling 715-367-3715.
All tickets will be drawn during the evening with the last ticket drawn winning the grand prize of $2,000 cash and the 250th ticket drawn winning $1,000, organizers said in a press release.
Ten tickets drawn at random throughout the evening will win $100. Winners need not be present to win. Additionally, area merchants will donate over 100 merchandise items or gift certificates, which will be given out as prizes.
A live auction and cash raffles will be part of the fun. Beer and soda will be served throughout the evening, as well as hot sandwiches.
