The party was held at Windows on the River on the West Bank of the Flats and drew the largest crowd yet! It truly was 'Lucky #7!" The crowd of 385 gathered to enjoy a night for of casino-gaming, eating, drinking and socializing. Together, the city united to raise over $55,000 for the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland. As you know, for every dollar raise, the Hunger Network can serve 4 meals in one of their 100 hunger centers - that means this event raised enough for over 220,000 meals!! That's amazing!Cocktailing for a cause, I'll always be up for that!
The night started off with a bang - once you registered with a volunteer from Microsoft [on their high-tech and very cool tablets] you were on the red carpet that for a quick picture, then led in to never-ending fun inside the ballroom. There was a huge silent auction featuring the coolest things in Cleveland, and there was even a raffle called the Boat Load of Booze! It was a boat full of bottles of wine, liquors, beers - you name it! There was over 150 tickets sold and 1 lucky winner took it all home - lucky guy.
We were entertained all night, even if we weren't gambling - there was an amazing magician, performances by Frank, Dean & Then Some and even a 50/50. There was another photo opportunity inside with a green screen from Mystic Image. It was awesome!
Dinner was delicious, but the best part was dessert! It was beautiful cupcakes donated from Topped With Buttercream cupcakes...yum!
There were so many people there, from groups of friends, coworkers from the sponsors and the team from Q104's Fee's Kompany - they were the celebrity hosts and rocked on stage.You can check out photos from the event on our Facebook page here, and don't forget to like our page while you're there!
And, mark your calendars for our next event, the 24th Annual Best Party of the Year...now these folks know how to "get down!!" They love to dance...you won't want to miss it.
