The Western Wake Woman’s Club is excited to host its Annual Fundraiser & Silent Auction on May 12, to benefit the Meg’s Smile Foundation. Meg’s Smile is a local charitable organization that provides gifts and experiences to children affected by serious illnesses. Meg’s Smile was founded by Jim and Terri Wasley in memory of their daughter Meg who passed away from a brain tumor at eight years old. The mission of the organization is to bring smiles to the faces of children and their families while they are going through what can be a very long and emotional journey. Since its inception in 2011, Meg’s Smile has granted over 175 “smiles” to North Carolina children.
The event will be held at “The Frontier” of Research Triangle Park and will include a silent auction filled with donations from local business. Last year’s silent auction included tickets to local sporting events, sports memorabilia; jewelry; staycations to local hotels, local outdoor activities; restaurant and Spa gift certificates and many other services and goods featuring local businesses. The tickets are $40 per guest and include heavy appetizers, wine and beer. All net proceeds will go directly to Meg’s Smile Foundation.
