Pianist John Otott will play live during the auction. Otott said he will donate all proceeds from sales of his CDs at the event to Portola Hills Elementary.
Tickets at the door cost $40 per couple or $25 per individual. The price includes valet parking, entertainment and appetizers by the Foothill Ranch .
The fundraiser at 19191 Lawrence Canyon in Silverado, open to the 21-and-over crowd, is scheduled to wrap up by 9:30 p.m.
