Diamond & Ruby Gala & Benefit Concert

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our 95th Anniversary Diamond & Ruby Gala and Benefit Concert! It was an unforgettable evening filled with celebration, community, and a shared love for the arts. We are especially grateful to our generous sponsors and donors for their continued support, and to our honorees, Susan Arann and Shaw-nae Dixon, for being such an inspiring part of this milestone event. We invite you to view our George Award Presentation video, honoring these two extraordinary women, and our electronic journal, which features our amazing sponsors—whose contributions make everything we do possible. We encourage you to support these outstanding businesses and individuals who uplift our mission and community.
