Hey all!

Anyone know of charitable organizations hosting charity galas or silent auctions in the Richmond area?

I'd love to get out and do something social while supporting a good cause along the way!

In February, JDRF is hosting a gala at the science museum to support diabetes research https://www.jdrf.org/midatlantic/events/one-night-gala/

Thank you! Love the science museum! Hate diabetes!

Any idea whether buying tickets for these events is a charitable gift eligible to be used as a tax deduction? I wouldn't think so, but thought it wouldn't hurt to find out.

Edit: answer is, "it's complicated." https://www.tcfhr.org/is-the-cost-of-event-tickets-tax-deductible/#:~:text=As%20a%20general%20rule%2C%20if,of%20tangible%20value%20in%20return.

You just missed Fetch a Cure’s Pets on Parade

Thanks for posting this! We’re new to the area and are looking for things to do. We’re from a relatively small town in FL and aren’t used to all of the choices. Lol We love it here.

You missed the Cattle Baron's Ball in October, but put it on your calendar for next year. It was always a lot of fun.

Unfortunately it was just a few weeks ago but the SPCA hosts a black tie Fur Ball each year

Sounds like I'm asking a few weeks too late for some of the events this year! Thanks!
