CANTON, OHIO (April 25, 2017) – After a full year of planning and preparing, Stark County’s premier fundraising event of the year is just days away.

The Aultman Angel Auction, a black-tie dinner event in its 48th year, will take place on Friday, May 12, at the Canton Civic Center. This year’s theme, “Cirque des Angels,” is sure to make for a spectacular evening. The event is led by Chairs Sandy Doll and Gulkesh Gill, along with their dedicated team of more than 200 volunteers.

All proceeds from the Angel Auction event will support The Women’s Board’s pledge of $5 million to the Aultman Cancer Center. The new center will provide cancer services at Aultman in one innovative facility that will be home to state-of-the-art clinical care and much more for generations to come.

Exciting live and silent auctions are planned with a wide variety of items that were graciously donated through the generous support of the Women’s Board volunteers and community donors. Among some of the items up for bid in the live auction:
