Senior Corps hosts 'Bubbles & Bids' fundraiser

The Senior Corps of Northern and Central Arizona, part of NAU's Gerontology Institute, will hold its annual Bubbles & Bids fundraiser from 6 to 9 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Radisson Woodlands Hotel in Flagstaff.

The event helps reimburse program volunteers for expenses they incur while volunteering.

The 18th annual Bubbles & Bids event features entertainment, hors d'oeuvres, Vegas-style casino gaming and a silent auction with more than 100 items for bid, including hotel stays in Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, jewelry, art, restaurant and other hotel gift certificates and more.

Tickets are $25, with proceeds from the event to benefit Senior Corps programs, which utilize seniors age 55 and over as volunteers in communities in northern and central Arizona.

To purchase tickets or to volunteer for the event, call the NAU Gerontology Institute at (928) 523-3560 or (928) 523-0530.
