Facciamo Festa! “Let’s Party” was the theme of this year’s 22nd Annual Spring Benefit which brought together neighbors, families, and friends. Guests gathered on the terrazza of Saints Peter & Paul Church for cocktail hour to enjoy French 75’s and bourbon on the rocks, donated by Vesuvio Cafe, and delicious, passed appetizers. The Cosmo Alleycats trio ushered guests down the red carpet before lighting up the main dining room with some swinging rhythms.
Guests moved into a beautifully decorated tent hung with long chandeliers for a family style meal complete with overflowing antipasto, crisp Caesar salads, and an assortment of delicious main courses. Of course, Coppola wine was flowing!
One of NBC’s clients, Debra, shared her story of working with North Beach Citizens to find supportive housing and stability. Mistress of Ceremonies, Ruth Yankoupe, returned to lead our auction and Fund-A-Need efforts. The money raised during the event directly impacts the lives of people living in extreme poverty and helps us implement new initiatives that address the pressing challenges our clients face each day.
The evening was a big success and did not disappoint this North Beach crowd with plenty of dancing, photo booth fun, and late-night espressos.
