Coming Soon! 10/29/10 “J’adore Paris” Gala & Cabaret After Party
The Foundation is pleased to invite you to our 2010 “J’adore Paris” GALA and CABARET After Party on Friday, October 29th at the elegant and historic old Spanish architectural gem Comber Hall (next to the Church of the Little Flower in Coral Gables).
This year’s black-tie affair will be spectaculaire as we transport our guests to the glamorous and romantic city of Paris. The evening begins with our signature silent auction and sparkling Bacardi cocktail reception, followed by dinner, Bacardi bar, lively entertainment, and dancing (7 PM-11 PM).
We are proud to honor this year’s Legacy Award Recipient, Coral Gables’ own First Lady, Jeannett Slesnick. Our emcee will be Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Mark Trowbridge.
CABARET AFTER PARTY
Keep dancing into the night at our After Party (9PM-1AM). The CABARET After Party is new this year and is included with the purchase of a Gala ticket ($250). You may also attend just the After Party ($50).
EVERYONE IS INVITED
That means you! Please come help us celebrate this October with civic/business leaders and young professionals who represent a broad spectrum of community-minded individuals committed to our City’s future. This will be an extraordinary event, and we anticipate it will garner special media attention because of its uniqueness. The Gala is black tie, and the After Party is cocktail attire. Instead of a Halloween costume, dress “up” this year and party with us!
