Many guests took the theme to heart, wearing costumes, cocktail attire or fancy hats.
The event is the agency’s biggest fundraiser each year, supporting its programs aimed at helping victims of domestic and sexual abuse.
“The money we raise makes it possible for families to have shelter, for victims of abuse to have support in court and for us to respond to calls 24/7,” WCH Executive Director Diana Newton said.
