Dear friends,

Thank you for registering for the Geisinger Janet Weis Emerald City Ball on Saturday, September 10 at 6 p.m.
Here are just few helpful hints that will get you ready for the event in a flash!

  • The Emerald City Ball will begin at the Pine Barn Inn (PBI) starting at 6 p.m. where valet will be available. All the traffic will be directed up Academy Avenue to the upper entrance of the PBI where security will be located to point you to valet.

  • Parking: There will not be parking available at the PBI unless you are registered with hotel accommodations.
    • If you have hotel accommodations, you should not valet as your vehicle will not be accessible after midnight. Valet is only available during the Emerald City Ball from 6-11 p.m.
    • Shuttle: A shuttle will be running for the entirety of the event from the Knapper Clinic for individuals who would prefer to self-park.

  • Hotel accommodations can be made at the Pine Barn Inn.

  • Dress code: Black tie preferred.

  • Registration: Attendees must check in at the registration desk located inside the entrance to the Stone Pine Ballroom or patio entrance to receive table assignments and register for the silent auction.

  • Dazzling Diamond Drawing Value: $2,000 Presented by Foss Jewelers Cost: $50 per ticket (only 500 tickets will be sold) Cash check or debit card only. Each chance comes with a sparkling cubic zirconia stone, and if you’re the lucky winner, you get to trade that in for the real thing! Foss Jewelers has meticulously hand-selected this spectacular ½-carat diamond. This brilliant cut gem will surely dazzle.

  • Silent and Live Auctions: We will use mobile bidding software called OneCause for this year’s silent auction. You will be asked at registration for a cell phone number.

Our live auction has many premium items and experiences you won’t want to pass up!
