2015 Victory Board Gala Southern Jubilee

Taking a cue from the ever-growing popularity of local and sustainable practices and products, this year’s gala's theme "A Southern Jubilee" celebrates the talents, trades and tastes of all things Southern. Not just the classic, time-honored themes and traditions, but the progressive, uniquely independent spirit embodied by a region that we call home.

As the event kicks off, patrons may explore the brilliantly assembled, Southern-sensed silent auction brimming with handcrafted jewelry, local art and exhibits, fantastic excursions and more. The always-popular Tibi Fashion Week Experience and McGladrey Classic Tournament Package will hit the live auction blocks along with a four-legged newcomer born and bred in South Georgia by distinguished breeders. A Mossy Pond Labrador Retriever puppy will be going home with a new best friend!

Attendees will have the opportunity to observe renowned local artist Ester Deen put the finishing touches on a spectacular 30” x 40” acrylic on canvas painting that one lucky bidder will be taking home at evening’s end.

Hand-picked to highlight the theme, a sit-down dinner featuring all organic fare from regional farms and growers will be elegantly presented to guests. The evening’s menu is thoughtfully Southern with dishes that let local ingredients shine and diners savor.

After dinner, it’s time to cut loose with the Class of '69, a 15-person band including local attorneys Bob Killian and Randy Jordan!

Not to be missed is the ultimate Southern sanctuary for the sports lovers in the crowd. Designed by Beachview Rentals and furnished with a large flat-screen TV from H&H Lifestyles, the Pigskin Den will be the perfect spot for those guests hoping to watch the evening’s football games.

Luminaries will shine through the night to honor loved ones lost to cancer and those presently battling the disease. Locally sourced luminary vases of varying shapes and sizes will be beautifully arranged and illuminated by candlelight. Each one will be personalized with a name, photo, or message in memory or honor of a friend of loved one whose life has been affected by cancer.
