Junior Auxiliary of Columbia will be celebrating the 75th year of its chapter with its annual Charity Ball March 2 at the National Guard Armory, and it encourages past Citizens of the Year to fly their flags beginning Sunday.
The annual ball is JA’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and this year is expected to draw quite the turnout. It will begin with a cocktail hour at 7 p.m., there will be both a silent auction and live auction and DJ RedZone will be performing from 8 p.m. until midnight. The Citizen of the Year will be announced at 9 p.m.
As part of celebrating 75 years, JA will recognize each of its lifetime members who served their six years then became members for life.
The past 10 winners of Citizens of the Year are Beverly Houston, Ben and Lori Watts, Carlton Thornhill, Leigh Berry, Stephanie Guidroz, Kristian Agoglia and Jacob Harrison, Mark Carithers, Mark McDaniel, Jim Ragan and Renee Porter.
Individual tickets are available for $50, and two tickets are available for $90
