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!

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.

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!

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.
