Dressed in beautiful gowns and sharp suits on Feb. 15, supporters of the St. Jude Catholic Church gathered in the ballroom of Michael's On East for a night of celebration.
Guests mingled inside and out in the atrium. There was a Tap Snap photobooth set up outside, and the silent auction items inside. There was also a live auction and Chinese auction during the program.
A prayer was said before the meal, followed by music by DJ Willie Galarza playing through the dinner and into the night.Â
