“This is our main fundraiser event,” fundraising coordinator Steve Smelcer said. “We really want to focus on our live auction this year — we have a lot of very nice items.”

Live auction items include a half-day inshore fishing charter with Captain Tami Gray of Wicked Tuna Outer Banks; an Outer Banks getaway package with two-night stay on the Nags Head Oceanfront; a gift basket of assorted Yeti products donated by Sleeping Bee; and artwork including a signed limited edition lithograph.

There will be a question-and-answer session with Captain Tami Gray and Amanda Malkowski from WRIC Channel 8 news beginning at 4 p.m.

There will also be a bake sale and silent auction all day.
