Join Us for Our 10th Annual Bark & Wine!

May 31, 2025, 6-10pm

Join us at the Historic Smithonia Farm for our largest fundraiser of the year! Guests will enjoy dinner compliments of Carrabba's Italian Grill of Athens, desserts, live music, a complimentary glass of wine or beer from Boutier Winery, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, access to our live and silent auctions with select prizes and gifts; raffles held throughout the night; and more. We will also be holding a 50/50 raffle at the event, so one lucky winner will get to split the pot with us! Event photography will once again be provided by April May Photography.

As we get closer to the event, you’ll be able to review our list of live and silent auction items below as well as our many generous sponsors. Items and sponsors are being added daily, so check back often to see the latest additions!
