Pittsburgh’s own Jim Krenn will serve as a special guest and host an early VIP reception and silent auction throughout the night. Silent Auction items will include one-of-a-kind works from both locally and nationally known artists, rare comics, travel vouchers and accommodations for highly desired destinations, gift baskets and more. There will also be music, food and drinks.
