‘Men of Character’ Live Auction to Debut at JFP Chick Ball on July 9
In addition to the best and most chic silent auction around, the 7th Annual JFP Chick Ball will feature a live auction of Jackson "Men of Character" at the fundraising event July 9 at Hal & Mal's in downtown Jackson. Bring your checkbooks and credit cards and bid on the following fabulous men, who will in turn, uh, perform services they are best known for on behalf of the winning bidders (get your mind out of the gutter; their "services" are listed after their names!). Professional auctioneeress Christine Whitton of Clinton will auction the "Men of Character" starting at 7:55 p.m. in the Red Room, right before the other awards. All auction proceeds will benefit the Center for Violence Prevention and help stop domestic abuse in central Mississippi. This year's money is dedicated to stopping domestic abuse in rural counties around Jackson.
Here are the "Men of Character":
Chef Craig Noone of Parlor Market (cooking)
Sujan Ghimire of Salsa Mississippi (dance instruction)
Scott Albert Johnson (music lessons)
Eddie Outlaw of William Wallace Salon (hair styling)
Wesley Brisendine of Mr. Rooter of Jackson (plumbing)
Kali Horner of A Man's Hands (massage therapy)
Aaron Phillips (photography)
Craig Robinson of Anytime Fitness off I-55 N. (personal fitness training)
