Oh What A Night…
The stars weren't just shining in Hollywood this Oscar season—they were sparkling right here in our community as we celebrated our FIRST annual Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party fundraiser! We're absolutely thrilled to announce that thanks to your incredible generosity and support, we didn't just meet our fundraising goal—we surpassed it, raising over $100,000 toward the goal of adding an elevator to the building, all while honoring Joe McKay for his contributions to our community.
The atmosphere was electric as guests arrived in their red-carpet finest, with conversation and laughter flowing as freely as the signature cocktails crafted especially for the evening. From the silent auction & raffle baskets featuring an impressive array of donated items to the live entertainment that kept the celebration lively, every moment contributed to an unforgettable night of glamour and giving.
This success would not have been possible without the remarkable support of our community. We extend our deepest thanks to The Catered Fork for the outrageously delicious food & Clarkes Garden & Home for the beautiful floral arrangements, as well as all of our other business sponsors, our tireless volunteers, and of course, every single attendee who purchased a ticket, participated in the auction, or made a donation.
David Benthal was on hand throughout the evening, capturing these magical moments—be sure to browse the stunning photographs showcasing our community members in their finest attire! The funds raised during this spectacular evening will directly support our phase II project to bring an elevator – we couldn't be more grateful for your continued belief in our mission. From all of us on the Oscars committee—thank you for making this year's Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party our most successful fundraising event to date!
