“Each year our Ball takes on a new theme inspired by the travels of the butterfly,” said Avow Board member Lee Pinto. “In 2016, guests will follow the butterfly to Hawaii to enjoy the sophisticated sights, sounds and tastes inspired by the island.” The black tie event will include silent and live auctions, dinner and musical entertainment by High Voltage. Early sponsors of note include Judy LeDoux, Arthrex and Thelma Lyon.
Nearly 300 people attended the 2015 Ball and over $440,000 was raised through cash, sponsorships and in-kind donations.
