Radiating with the glamour and glitz of a Jay Gatsby party, Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club transformed for Priory’s 38th annual gala, Roaring Twenties. Donning their best sequins and pearls or tuxedos and top hats, guests fox trotted and toasted through the evening, while supporting the Priory community.
Gala Co-Chairs Lisa Putnam and Nicole Chambers, along with dozens of dedicated volunteers, were the bee’s knees in putting together an unforgettable night. As the flappers and dapper dandies arrived at the party, they were greeted by a decadently dressed hostess wearing a rolling champagne skirt—a sight to see! With a glass of champagne in tow, guests entered the cocktail reception and feasted their eyes on a room radiating with shimmering hues of gold, silver and black with delicate pearl and feather accents. New this year was signage for each silent auction category, allowing for more space through the reception for mixing and mingling, and a photo booth station with the accouterments to replicate a proper speakeasy.
The evening continued into the glamorous ballroom adorned with eye-catching centerpieces pluming with white feathers, setting the mood for the equal parts entertaining and exciting live auction. Among the highlights were hilarious skits by gangster John Sugden, and Kristi and Tom Patterson and Jennifer and Bill Youstra’s ingenious Game of Thrones-themed performance, as well as phenomenal experiences such as the Warriors owner’s suite, a VIP experience at Hearst Castle and vacation of a lifetime in the City of Light!
