Cow County Ball fundraiser
This event has it all from a great barbecue, dancing to Mike & The Liabilities, a hosted bar and some great raffle and silent auction items - that is if you like airline tickets, ski, golf and hotel packages. There are also children's activities, so bring the kiddos too. Every penny from this fundraiser gives Volunteer Attorneys for Rural Nevadans the opportunity to help women through the Domestic Violence Victims Assistance Project. This is the only fundraiser they have to support these services all year.
