We are truly grateful to all who joined us and contributed to such a lively event. The evening featured R&B star Amber Mark, who gave a remarkable performance, followed by a set from DJ Pete Butta.

Special thanks to our emcee Marysol Castro of PIX11 News and Kimberly Pirtle of Sotheby’s, who conducted a spirited live art auction that featured coveted artworks donated by talented artists like Futura 2000, Awol Erizku, Gamaliel Rodríguez, and Abbott Stillman.
