Entrance and Check-In

The entrance to the Whitaker & Atlantic event space faces Atlantic Avenue, next to the Hummingbird restaurant.  Look for the Shell It Out banner outside the entrance.

At the entry you'll check in at a designated table. There are no paper or electronic tickets. 

Dress

Dressy casual! Whitaker & Atlantic is a renovated warehouse with concrete floors so choose your shoes accordingly. Dress to enjoy a fun evening!

The Run Down

If you've been to Shell It Out the last few years, this one will be a little different!  We will be ready for you to check in at 6:00pm.  Those who arrive before 6:30pm will be greeted with a glass of Prosecco!  After you check in, grab a drink, some oysters and heavy hors d'oeuvres and mingle! Beer and wine are provided and there will be a cash bar for liquor drinks.  At 7:30pm, we will hear from Laurie Harrell, Wee Care's Executive Director, where she will provide the latest updates.  From there, the event will be turned over to our auctioneer, Scott Matthews, who will start the Live Auction!  After the Live Auction wraps up, the Silent Auction will close and winners may pick up their items at the Silent Auction tables.

We encourage you to log in from your phone and add your credit card information so you're ready to go when you arrive! You can also buy a raffle ticket for our $2,000 Bailey's gift card or start bidding on items in our Silent Auction.

Social Media

If you still have questions please reach out.  We can't wait to see you Thursday!
