Thursday, March 26, at Sarasota Yacht Club | Benefiting SPARCC

This year’s SPARRCle on the Bay was as elegant as ever. Themed “Through the Looking Glass,” the event was meant to shine light on the work that Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center does in the community — helping people coming from the dark, head into a bright future.

“I wanted everything to be silver and sparkling,” says event co-chair Carol English. From the hanging crystal chandeliers to the silver tablecloths and centerpieces, the event lit up the Sarasota Yacht Club.
