The Boys Home of the South will hold its 12th Annual Spring Soiree on Thursday, May 3 at the Embassy Suites on Verdae Boulevard in Greenville. The event hopes to raise $100,000 for the Boys Home, a non-profit group home in southern Greenville County that currently serves fifty-two boys, ages 6 to 21.

The Soiree’s silent auction will begin at 6:00 pm, featuring over 200 items, including diamond jewelry, a week at a condo on Litchfield Beach, vacations to Cabo San Lucas and Montana, original artwork and a set of Michelin tires. Dinner will be served at 7:30 pm, with Boys Home alumni serving as guest speakers. During Dinner an exciting live auction will take place offering items artwork, catered dinner in your home and vacations. Jane Robelot will be mistress of ceremonies.
Since its inception, the Spring Soiree has raised over $589,000 for the Boys Home, with almost 100% of proceeds going directly to organizational services.

Sponsorships and silent auction items are still needed.
