Togas and shades were the dress of choice for guests of the Riverview High School Foundation fundraiser Saturday night at The Francis. 

Event co-chairs Stacy Devlin and Janet Clark coordinated the evening with a theme based on the movie “Animal House.” Guests dressed accordingly with lettermen jackets, cheerleading uniforms and fraternity letters. 

Proceeds from silent auctions and the event will benefit programs at Riverview High School including the food pantry and student tutoring.
