2019 Awty Gala - Love Never Dies
What an amazing night March 9 was for Awty's 2019 Gala, Love Never Dies! We had a record breaking event from the number of guests in attendance to the number of dollars raised; this was indeed a night to remember! Our guests were greeted at The Post Oak Hotel by the sounds of a mariachi band, dined on a three-course meal while listening to the talented duo of Charlie + Lois, and celebrated and generously supported our wonderful school during the live auction.
A very special thank you to Vanessa Sanchez and Fay Zakhem for chairing this year's extravaganza. The gala chairs and their dedicated committee members worked very hard this year to give us an Awty experience that we won't soon forget. We are incredibly happy to report that thanks to everyone's efforts, we raised $674,981 for Awty!
