We can’t wait to welcome you to another fabulous night of food, wine, dancing, and bidding, all for the best cause…our kids! 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. From bidding on unforgettable parties to one-of-a-kind experiences, enjoying 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 hour. Then, celebrity auctioneer Liam Mayclem will take the stage for the Live Auction program and dancing to close out the night.
