This year’s celebration will be a true Holiday Kickoff taking place the Friday before Thanksgiving – Friday, November 18th at the majestic Franklin Plaza Ballroom in Troy.

Corporate Sponsor VIP Pre Party: 7 pm
Celebration: 8 pm.

The evening will include entertainment provided by J Yager and the Audiostars, DJ Jake Allen, Ric DiDonato, Toga Boys and more. Event favorites, such as unlimited gourmet foods and complimentary bar service throughout the evening, champagne bar, a plentiful raw bar, hand-rolled “Cigars under the Stars,” and our martini bar will remain – as well as exciting new enhancements. Guests will have a chance to win three great prizes, including a fabulous trip compliments of Sheila McNeil and Wine & Spirits of Slingerlands.

Guests will again enjoy all the splendor that the Franklin Plaza (located on the corner of Fourth & Grand Streets in Troy) has to offer including The Penthouse Suite – the lavish lounge located on the 3^rd floor, and the beautiful Sky-View Rooftop Deck – a perfect setting to enjoy the glow of the fireplace, overlooking the city.

In appreciation of our corporate partners, an exclusive VIP Pre-Party will take place at 7:00 pm – an hour before the celebration begins.
