Panama City’s beloved Corks ‘N Canvases event has gotten a makeover, so we’d like to cordially invite you to The Big Event Presented by Bill Cramer Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC on Saturday, March 6, 2021, at The Barn at Wicked Wheel! This past year has been filled with challenges for our community, but we are looking forward to coming together and putting our focus on who needs our support: our local children. The Big Event will be filled with many of our signature elements including a silent and live auction, chances to win, and live entertainment by Christon Birge and Katie Spillman! We will have COVID-19 precautions in place, as the health and safety of our guests are our top priority! Another new and exciting addition?! We will be streaming the event LIVE! If you are more comfortable, you can stay at your home, participate virtually, and give back to a BIG cause. Individual in-person tickets will be limited. Stay tuned for more information! If you’d like to secure your spot, sponsorship opportunities are now available! Contact Paula Shell at pshell@bbbsnwfl.org or call 850.763.5437 for more information.
