Opportunity Partners’ largest fundraiser of the year will feature dinner, fun, and a silent and live auction with auctioneer extraordinaire Karen Sorbo. Sorbo’s special brand of energy, elegance and enthusiasm establishes a lively tone and encourages heartfelt support of Opportunity Partners’ mission. FOX 9 is also on board as this year’s TV media sponsor.
