This past Saturday evening celebrities and socialites came out to a lovely sunset soiree to raise money for Diabetes research to find a cure. The event was hosted by Patricia and Roger Silverstein who were both in attendance. Patricia wore a bright pink two piece Alice and Olivia dress and several other guests also sported the hot pink look for the event. She is actively involved in the cause to raise awareness since she has relatives who suffer from diabetes. The event featured dinner, dancing, and drinks. The wine was sponsored by SipChanne wines founded by entrepreneur Kavita Channe who was also in attendance wearing a fabulous pink slip dress. The founder spoke with guests about her signature Rose wine and gave out fans so guests could stay cool on the hot evening.
The event also featured a silent auction and many creators donated pieces for the auction. The auction raised money for research and guests were also entertained by a speed painter who painted auction items live during the event. Kimberly Pucci, luxury accessories designer attended the event and donated her weekender bag to the auction. It was a huge hit with guests and she even brought an artist to sketch the guests with the bag. Check out my very own sketch below!
