The Oxford Auditorium was transformed into a dazzling scene of Halloween glamour and generosity on Saturday, Oct. 18, for the 9th Annual BBBS Oxford Big Night Out Charity Ball Halloween. The much-anticipated event united guests from across Oxford County for an evening filled with excitement, entertainment, and heartfelt support for youth mentoring programs. Guests were greeted with cocktails at 6:00 p.m., followed by a mouthwatering buffet dinner catered by Beres Butchery and Catering of Tillsonburg. The meal set the stage for an unforgettable night of celebration, complete with a lively DJ who kept everyone on their feet well into the night. A mix of creative costumes and semi-formal attire filled the room as laughter and camaraderie echoed throughout the venue. The Big Night Out featured a silent auction, raffles, and a spirited costume contest, all contributing to the fundraiser’s success. With each bid, ticket, and donation, attendees helped raise essential funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford County, ensuring mentoring services remain accessible at no cost to youth and families across the region. As one of Oxford County’s most popular social events, it once again showcased the power of community spirit. Event organizers extended thanks to the sponsors, volunteers, and attendees whose support made the evening not only a fundraising triumph but also a celebration of hope and mentorship.
