Black Tie Benefit for Wesley House

The formal event of the season took place on April 1, 2023 at the Key West Marriott Beachside Hotel. Hundreds of supporters, all dressed to the nines, gathered for the Black Tie Benefit to raise money for Wesley House Family Services. The evening started in Tavern N Town with a private cocktail hour for Legacy Sponsors and then moved up to the main event room for everyone in attendance. Throughout the evening there were cocktails, music, a silent auction and a live auction hosted by celebrity auctioneer and actress Janice Hamilton. DJ Cardi took over and led the fun on the dance floor until the end of the event.
