The Kiwanis Club of Scarborough is selling tickets to its annual semi-formal benefit, the Gala Ball, taking place at the Sheraton South Portland, on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 6-11 p.m.

The event is organized by Kiwanis each year and made possible through voluntary donations from local businesses and tickets sales to the public. All net proceeds are donated to the Maine Children’s Cancer Program.

A contribution of $60 per ticket includes live dance music by the Tony Boffa Band, hors d’oeuvres and desserts and a silent auction. Lee Goldberg, WCSH sportscaster, is master of ceremonies.

According to Tammy Rosario, who co-chaired last year’s Gala, this is the first year it will be held at the Sheraton.

“We are excited to provide a new venue this year that continues to build on the grand Scarborough tradition, including an elegant evening packed with entertainment, great food and the camaraderie with wonderful local residents. We encourage the Greater Portland community to join us and participate in one of Scarborough’s most important fundraising events of the year,” she said.

Kiwanis of Scarborough supports the Maine Children’s Cancer Program, a facility in Scarborough under the umbrella of the Maine Medical Center and Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital.
