Step into the magic of the desert for Ignite the Night! Under glowing lights and a sky full of possibility, we’ll come together for a shared purpose that unites us all: supporting our schools. Bid on unforgettable parties and one-of-a-kind experiences, and enjoy signature cocktails and a dance floor that keeps the night glowing! This will be an evening of connection, celebration, and generosity.
The evening will kick off connecting with friends while enjoying an open bar, passed appetizers, desert festival-themed food stations, and the silent auction. Then, celebrity auctioneer Liam Mayclem will take the stage for the Live Auction program; and we will close out the night with dancing.
