Serving as honorary co-chairs are Alicia Smith and Brigitte Kalai.

Guests will enjoy a memorable evening featuring cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a seated dinner, live entertainment, and special surprises. Proceeds will directly fund Avenue 360’s comprehensive HIV and wellness programs, including cutting-edge dental care, substance use recovery, food and nutrition assistance, mental health, housing support, and hospice services.
