Sponsors of this year’s event were recognized during the VIP portion and after, attendees moved and grooved to the musical stylings of Earl Turner and Tommy Ward & Swayd, with a special appearance by Pia Zadora. Local sculptor Dorit Schwartz showcased her collection “The Light Within” and silent auction items of unique art pieces, one-of-a-kind jewelry, vacation packages and other luxurious items were bid on throughout the evening. One lucky raffle winner won a two-carat chocolate diamond ring by D&R House of Diamonds appraised at $7,000.
