NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — PopCares, Inc., a local nonprofit that provides financial and emotional support to families battling cancer, is holding its 14th Annual Dinner and Auction on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025. 
 
The event will take place at The Greylock WORKS, located at 508 State Road in North Adams.
 
The dinner, which has sold out in previous years with over 500 attendees, will feature a baked stuffed chicken or a vegetarian option, catered by Bounti-Fare. 
 
The evening's entertainment includes a live auction, silent auction, chance auction, raffles, a "Desert Dash," and a 50/50 drawing.
 
General seating tickets are available for $45, while VIP seating costs $100. Tickets are sold online only, and early purchase is recommended as the event always sells out.
 
Founded in honor of Bill "Pop" St. Pierre, PopCares aims to provide support to those fighting cancer and their caregivers in the Northern Berkshires and bordering Southern Vermont towns. The organization has given over $1 million to 1,457 local families through direct financial assistance, resource referrals, and small acts of kindness.
 
Proceeds from the dinner and auction will help the organization continue its mission to support community members affected by cancer, with all funds raised staying local. The nonprofit is also accepting sponsors and raffle items by Sept. 23.
