"It's a full evening event. we've got some live entertainment, we've got the battle of the hors d'oeuvres so there will be some yummy tasting."

Killaire says the support from the community for the silent auction table was incredible this time around.

"There are literally hundreds of silent auction items, so it's going to be a fun night."

Killaire says they are currently pushing the recruitment for their programs.

"The Step up Campaign, which is the recruitment of male volunteers, there's about 60 boys waiting, so we have a big push right now. We are launching a new program in schools right now, called Game On, so when you factor in those boys, we have got quite the waiting list, so lots of volunteers are needed."
