Raise Your Glass, Raise Awareness GalaNearly 200 guests enjoyed a “A Tribute to the Golden Age of Hollywood” at the 5th Annual “Raise Your Glass, Raise Awareness” fundraising event to benefit The Center for Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling and Education (“The Center”). The event took place on Friday, April 23rd at the Stamford home of Michele and Kevin Segalla. It coincided with Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which is recognized nationally each April.
Following this year’s theme, “A Tribute to the Golden Age of Hollywood,” guests started their evening with a walk down the red carpet and had the opportunity to pose for the paparazzi (with photographers generously donated by Stamford’s Jack Dog Studio). Then, it was on to a champagne welcome, as music from the Tom Smith Big Band filled the air. The evening featured a signature cocktail from St-Germain, with a selection of wonderful food and wine presented by David’s Soundview Catering, napa & co., Dichello Distributors and the Stamford Mariott.
Under the skillful direction of auctioneer Alan Kalter (announcer for Late Show with David Letterman), guests bid on a wonderful array of auction items including a four-night Nantucket Getaway, a New York City Extravaganza, a four-night stay at Stratton Mountain Village, a picnic on a 55ft custom fractional Rigged sloop with crew -- and more!
All agreed it was a great night!
