DISH Las Vegas

Thank you to everyone who attended our inaugural benefit event, DISH, on April 3rd. Although the weather was not ideal, we still had over 850 guests! The evening was filled with delicious food prepared by celebrity chefs and restaurants from across the Valley, including live cooking demonstrations in the Springs Cafe by Wolfgang Puck. The silent auction was the most popular spot, featuring plates painted by local artists and students. All in all, it was a magical evening and we hope to see you again next year!
