The annual signature event for Avon / Avon Lake Community Resource Services (CRS), the Charity Ball, is known for gathering some spectacular items for its event and this year is no different.

More than 110 items, ranging from spa gift certificates to tickets to the Cavs,  Monsters, Lady Gaga and the Lake Erie Crushers, to dinner with Matt Underwood or Ron Jantz, vacation getaways and target practice, will be auctioned off at the Jan. 29 Avon / Avon Lake Charity Ball held at LaCentre in Westlake. Proceeds benefit CRS. Items will be presented as a silent auction and live auction.

Three items, tickets to a Lady Gaga concert, a Cavs experience and a progressive dinner for eight including a limousine, will be up for grabs in the ball’s live auction.
