Their annual benefit represents the primary fundraiser that allows them to continue the work they began in 1913. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are raised each year at this fundraiser. NBC 4's Fritz Coleman will serve as master of ceremonies and celebrity auctioneer. This year, our chapter will be providing volunteers for "Road to Emerald City". Our volunteers will be assisting with guest check-in, as well as the live and silent auctions. Our service ensures that the event runs smoothly, and is greatly appreciated by Hillsides!
