Dancing the Night Away
Cold night, warm hearts.
That’s the best way to describe the 12th annual Straight from the Heart Red-Tie Gala at LaCentre in Westlake.
Held this year on St. Valentine’s Day eve, proceeds from the Heart Red-Tie gala went to support cardiovascular services and education programs for the communities of Fairview, Lutheran and Lakewood Hospitals.
Fun, friendship and fundraising all converged for a great night of revelry at the 12th Annual Straight from the Heart Red Tie Gala held at LaCentre on Valentine’s Eve. This important Community West Foundation fundraiser supports Cardiovascular Care Services at Fairview, Lutheran and Lakewood Hospitals.
The 500 guests who turned out in support of the 12th annual event also had a ball, adding to the rise in temperature in the room. It was a night of dining, dancing to the music of The Jerry Bruno Orchestra and great looking people as all enjoyed the chance to win 40 exciting raffle prizes, capped by a grand prize of $100,000!
What a way to spend a cold winter’s night! Here is a look at the fun!
