Event chair Jenn Walton, ably assisted by Melissa Davidson, Dave Humphrey, Billy & Stacy Thoman, and James Thoman, delivered a walloping evening of fun and games to raise funds for one-to-one mentorships for needy youth.
Champagne and passed hors d’oeuvres greeted attendees to the second annual “Nite At the Races”. A race ran every 20 minutes. Sporting hats of all shapes and sizes, the crowd gathered around the big screen to cheer on their horse. Bets were taken at the Turf Club and by Turf Club associates, wandering amongst the folk.
Silent auction items lined the pavilion where the delicious dinner was served, followed by dancing. Executive Director Judy Tobin May and board president Billy Thoman thanked all the sponsors and gave testimony on how Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert had impacted children’s lives.
