Wilkinson Center Young Friend White Party Kick-Off event {with Society Pics}

On May 4th, The Young Friends of the Wilkinson Center hosted the kick-off event for their upcoming White Party.  About 700 people came out to Happiest Hour to show their support and celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

 

Guests were able to purchase Young Friend memberships, White Party tickets, White Party Sponsorships and tables,  and take part in a raffle to win a VIP table at the White Party.  In addition, guests that purchased any of these items received free margaritas and tacos during the happy hour.  DJ Souljah provided a range of beats throughout the evening keeping guest entertained.

 

Entertainment was provided by DJ Souljah.  Happiest Hour graciously donated tacos and margaritas.  Event photographer was Lisa Means.

 

The Young Friends of the Wilkinson Center will host its fifth annual White Party Benefit at 6500 Cedar Springs on Saturday, June 4^th.  This is the biggest fundraiser for the Young Friends of Wilkinson Center and it brought in over $100,000 last year with more than 1000 people in attendance.
