Photo by LORI SAXYellow was the color of the day March 6 as more than 350 patrons came to celebrate and support Easterseals Southwest Florida at its annual Abilities Shining luncheon.
Guests decked out in yellow dresses, shirts and jackets greeted one another in the Michael’s On East atrium to the sounds of the Everyone Rocks band before moving into the ballroom. There, they enjoyed lunch and a live auction as well as a song by the Easterseals Family Singers and a recitation by Easterseals preschool students.
The luncheon, co-chaired this year by Sarah Renkliyuz, Taylor Teymuri and Brittany Najmy-Lambiris, raises money for Easterseals Southwest Florida, which enriches the lives of children, teens and adults in the community. For nearly 80 years, Easterseals has provided education, therapy, employment training, support services and more to those in its care.
