 Our traditional Black & White Ball with its bow ties and ball gowns was transformed this year into a casual event with a March Madness theme. More than 460 guests joined us for games on the big screen, free throws, our Heads or Tails, chances on game scores, live music, a silent auction, and food stations with tastings from Anaheim, New Orleans, San Antonio, and Newark, the 4 regional tournament host cities.
Thanks to all who helped us raise an amazing $208,000, dollars that will be used to provide for the basic needs of families in crisis and to help them remain safe in their homes. And, thanks to our Gala Committee who made the fun possible: Elizabeth Deaux, Dick Berka, JJ Conners, Sarah Conners, Suzi DeCandio, Patty DeStephano, Tracy Duffy, Jennifer Garizio, Lisa Glisson, Diana Johnson, Dena Kapperman, Donna Kauffman, Amy Meyer, Jessica Mills, Mary Sue Mulhern, Cheryl Murphy, Lisa Obringer, Jo Oetjen, John Oetjen, Diane Powers, Astrid Ramos, Joy Turner, Anita Vining, Kerry Warren and, of course, our Junior Volunteers from various high schools dressed as referees.
Special Thanks to our 2011 Black & White Night Sponsors.
