Near & Far Aid Gala Returns; Glamour, Fashion, Music & Dancing Raises Funds For Our Neighbors In Need
Near & Far Aid’s Gala, one of Westport's most elegant and exciting events returned home to Mitchell’s of Westport and was even better than ever.
Friday evening was the charity’s 27th annual spring fundraiser to raise critical funding for 2022-23 grants. This years colorful theme was “La Vie Est Belle” transporting guests to the Cote d’Azure. The glamour of Cannes, a jazz rendezvous in Monaco and dance the night away in St. Tropez. Dinner, cocktails, silent and live auction, fashion show, live jazz band, DJ and dancing. The energy and generosity from the vibrantly dressed crowd was in full force. This completely sold out event raised record breaking amounts from it’s meticulously curated Live and Silent Auction.
“We are truly grateful to our Host Committee and to the Mitchell’s Family for their commitment and partnership. A heartfelt thanks to our incredible chairwomen Liz Bechtold, Danielle Perdue and Elora Sweedler for their vision and dedication. And for our generous donors, corporate sponsors, volunteers and everyone who attended the event. The funds we raised will allow us to grant over $1 million to the 108 local Fairfield County agencies that rely on us year after year. Together, we are Targeting Poverty and Changing Lives”.
