Silver Linings of St. Michaels and Easton, MD recently donated one of its signature Chesapeake Bay bracelets as a raffle item for the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s September 10 Boating Party gala fundraiser. With raffle tickets now available at the museum’s on-campus store in St. Michaels, proceeds benefit the children and adults served by the museum’s educational, exhibit, and boat restoration programs.

Designed exclusively by Silver Linings, the Chesapeake Bay sterling silver bracelet features eight charms including Bay waterfowl, sea life, an oyster dredging skipjack, and a screwpile-style lighthouse. The bracelet retails for $280 and is on display at the museum’s store now through September 10. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the store for $5 each, or 5 for $20. Tickets will also be sold during the September 10 Boating Party, where the winner’s name will be drawn and announced.

In addition to the raffle, the September 10 fundraising gala features cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a full-course gourmet dinner, live music, dancing, and a live auction of travel packages. The evening will be highlighted with a performance by the Freddy Cole Jazz Quartet, with Freddy singing many of his and his late brother Nat King Cole’s favorite tunes. The evening will culminate with dancing to the live music of The Golden Gup.

Tickets for the September 10 event are $175 per person or $1,750 for a table of 10, with benefactor and corporate sponsorships available.
