A sampling of 2015 silent auction items: Dior sunglasses; a black leather Marc Jacobs collection handbag; an Aurélie Bidermann Gold Nympheas Necklace; a tri-colored Marni shoulder bag; a multi-tone metallic Roger Vivier clutch; and a stainless steel watch women’s watch from The Tiffany Grand Collection featuring fifty four round diamonds weighing approximately .16 carat total weight.

Madison James from B98.5 and Kaitlyn Pratt from WAGA Fox 5 Atlanta surprised guests during the live auction and hit the runway for a cause. The duo showcased jewelry and more in an effort to help raise as much funds as possible for the beneficiaries.
