Join us for our second EVENING UNDER THE STARS on Saturday, July 23! Extremely generous community support made our first Evening Under the Stars a fun and festive fundraiser, so we’d like to host it again!

Last year over 100 guests mingled with friends, family, board members and staff, while enjoying the upbeat tempo of Dixieland music provided by Mark Hinkley and High Society, the fabulous jazz group of the Westerly Band.

This year, bring your friends and make new ones while enjoying savory hors d’oeuvres from Shoreline Caterers, beverages from Charlestown Wine and Spirits and music from High Society.

There will be a Silent Auction with items priced for every budget. Acclaimed auctioneer Bob Ward will be leading the Live Auction again. Some of the generous donations include:

  • Round of Golf at Hawk Ness
  • Round of Golf at Stonington Country Club
  • Antique wooden Duck Decoy
  • Art and Jewelry

Evening Under the Stars will be held under a tent on the Frosty Drew campus, 62 Park Lane, in Ninigret Park, Charlestown, RI, off of U.S. Route 1.

The event takes place from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., and all are invited to stay for stargazing afterwards! Tickets are $60.00 per person. Register Now.
