Chairs Kristin Guthrie and Roberta Konicki and honorary chair Ernie Manouse mingled with the jovial crowd, such as Charlene Chauang, Loren Blanchard, Casey Curry, Nadia Tajalli, Philamena and Arthur Baird, Gabriella Molina, Jan Stidham, Sonia Soto, Miya Shay, Gregg Harrison, Paul-David Van Atta and Marisol Saenz. Leaning into the theme de la fête, patrons enjoyed a rodeo-chic runway of fellow guests rocking the catwalk with their four-legged friends, which sparked much applause. The ultimate takeaway was the spirited celebration raised more than $130,000.
