- Honoring the Pickering Manor Auxiliary: This year, we're especially proud to recognize the Pickering Manor Auxiliary as the recipient of the 2026 Sidney T. Yates Award, honoring more than six decades of dedication, generosity and support of Pickering Manor and our community.
Festive island attire is encouraged, but certainly not required!
All proceeds benefit Pickering Manor, a nonprofit Life Plan Community serving Newtown and the surrounding community for over 60 years.
We hope you'll join us for a great night out for a great cause!
