Saturday night, I attended my 4th American Cancer Society Annual Gala event, and this happened to be my 2nd year as planning committee member.
Gala 2010 – Celebration of Life
Gala 2011 – A Night in Tuscany
Gala 2012 – Candles & Cocktails
Our 2013 theme played off of last year’s Candles and Cocktails theme with the subtitle, A Birthday Under the Big Top!
My husband and I got all spiffed up and really enjoyed our evening!
The ballroom
Bows made out of tickets! Too cute!
One of the most popular parts of the evening – the funnel cake station!
Delicious food!
Of course the main goal of the night was to fundraise for cancer research and have a good time while doing so – mission accomplished!
We also decided to take a few pictures by the photo booth!
My husband is a bit ridiculous at times.
We make quite a crew!
Bottoms Up was our evening entertainment. They are a band from New Orleans and totally rocked the house!
To see more from our evening, check out the video below!
Thanks for watching!
Have you ever been to a non-profit organization Gala/Ball? What were your thoughts/favorite part of the event?
