ICRH Party for a Purpose is our annual fundraising event to benefit the local homeless shelter. It is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026.

Guests bring their rolls of quarters and use them to bid on items in the auction OR they pay for an “All-In” paddle, which gives them automatic bidding for each item in the auction.
