An Evening of Elegance Returns Benefiting Children's Hospital & Make-A-Wish Foundation
The 3rd Annual “An Evening of Elegance” charity gala returns this year to raise funds for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin® — all without incurring any administrative costs or expenses. To date, An Evening of Elegance charitable events have raised more than $100,000 for these worthy organizations.
The black tie gala, coordinated by Milwaukee-area events company Eevents, will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2012, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Milwaukee-West in Wauwatosa. The event features a Chef’s Signature Dining experience, where Metro Milwaukee’s top restaurants and bakeries prepare signature dishes for guests to enjoy. The night begins with a wine, cheese and chocolate tasting complimented by passed appetizers. After enjoying an elegant dinner, attendees indulge in decadent desserts as they dance the night away. A silent auction with a fantastic array of items as well as a live auction conducted by Mark Baden, meteorologist of WISN 12, round out the evening’s events.
Organizer Tammy Flynn of Eevents and Elegance Salon & Spa states that, “Our mission is to bring the community together to cultivate positive relationships and prove that when everyone donates a little of themselves, great things can be accomplished.” A listing of the amazing restaurants and other vendors that have made donations to this event can be viewed at: www.elegancesalonandspa.com/evening-of-elegance--charitable-events.html. Tickets to An Evening of Elegance are on sale for $55 each at Elegance Salon & Spa, 2725 S. Calhoun Road, New Berlin. Limited seating is available.
