Catholic Charities fundraiser goes virtual

PALM BEACH GARDENS  |  After much consideration, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach has decided to transition the live Caritas Dei Bishop’s Gala to a virtual event due to the recent upsurge in COVID-19 cases.

The gala had been scheduled to take place Feb. 10, at The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. It will move to a virtual event to safeguard the health and safety of the supporters, clients and staff of Catholic Charities.

Thanks to the dedication of the agency‘s gala ladies committee, the popular charity auction will be held online from Thursday, Jan. 27, to Thursday, Feb. 10. Proceeds from the auction will support the many programs offered by Catholic Charities.

The auction will be hosted by https://qtego.net/qlink/ccdpb, an easy-to-use app that can be downloaded to a smartphone or accessed via the internet. More information and instructions will follow on the Catholic Charities website. With more than 100 items, this year’s Catholic Charities auction has something for everyone, including religious items, gift certificates, wine and spirits, home decor and categories for men, women and children.
