NODA consists of “compassionate companions” who volunteer their time and presence to provide bedside companionship to dying patients in their last hours and moments of life.
This year, those who attend the event can expect a memorable and fun-filled evening starting with a Pre-Gala Champagne hour that includes a classic and sports auto museum tour, a gourmet plated dinner and hosted bar, a wine grab, a dessert dash, an exciting silent and live auction of unique adventures, experiences and highly-sought after items, and live entertainment by the Backfire Band.
