Bikes for Kids Utah will hold its 2010 dinner and auction at Cucina Nassi in Salt Lake City on Thursday, September 30, 2010 from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. ---

"Our dinner's new location, Tuscan ambiance and high-caliber auction items will make this event a really exciting occasion for the community," said Debbie Reid, Bikes for Kids Utah executive director. "The dinner auction is pivotal to Bikes for Kids' success, and always generates more momentum for our cause."

The evening's highlights include a silent auction and cocktails beginning at 6 p.m. and a Tuscan Italian dinner served at 7 p.m., with a live auction beginning immediately thereafter. Tickets for the dinner are $100 per person or $1,000 for a table of 10.

Some of the auction items include:

  • Two tickets to the Grammy Awards Show, including the after party
  • Two tickets to Dancing with the Stars, including a meeting with the cast after the show
  • Weeklong stay at a villa in Tuscany, Italy
  • Trip for four to the Virgin Islands
  • Amazon Cruise for two through Peru
  • Group vacation to Spice Island in Grenada 
  • Dozens of holiday gift baskets
