Guests channeled their inner Holly Golightly Nov. 18 for Equality Florida's "Breakfast at Tiffany's"-themed evening.
Sarasota Municipal Auditorium was decorated in tiffany blue with chandeliers, crystals and roses for The Suncoast Celebration. Dinner —well, breakfast — was available throughout the evening, and guests also enjoyed a cocktail bar, live entertainment and silent auction bidding.
The program included a video, award ceremony and remarks from President and CEO Nadine Smith.
The funds from the evening went toward Equality Florida's mission to educate and advocate for the LGBTQ community.
