A night of Cajun food, dancing, music and auctions will benefit the American Cancer Society.
The cancer society is holding its second annual Boule on the Bayou from 7-11 p.m. Friday at Savannah Rapids Pavilion.
The event will feature food, music by Daddy Grace, dancing, and live and silent auctions, said Lisa Bryant, a cancer society community manager.
"The food is Cajun-theme," Bryant said, and will include oysters, chicken and beignets. "There is very much a New Orleans theme to that."
The auctions will include jewelry and watches, event and activity tickets, trips, gym memberships and one-of-a-kind items.
Bryant said she is still accepting donations for the auctions.
"We usually can find a use for just about everything," she said. "There are very few things I will ... turn down."
Games and a raffle for a collection of T-shirts from area businesses also will be held.
Tickets cost $75 and include dinner, beer and wine. A cash bar for other alcoholic beverages will be available.
Proceeds benefit the cancer society.
The evening is one of the cancer society's two major annual fundraisers. Bryant said she hopes to raise as much as $45,000.
Advance tickets are available at www.bouleonthebayou.com or by calling the Augusta office of the Cancer Society at (706) 731-9900.
Tickets will be available at the door if space is available.
