Saturday night, Kelsey and I headed to the Westin once again to volunteer for the JDRF Dream Gala. We had such a great time last year doing our good deed to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research that we were super excited when the call came to volunteer again. We dressed up in our finest and this year we sold raffle tickets at $100 each for a chance to win a $10,000 luxury vacation anywhere in the world. Not too shabby, right? We roamed around the ballroom lobby, mingling with guests and convincing them to buy tickets from us {which was actually much more successful than last year} and before the event even started, we had sold 63 tickets! The theme this year was Dance Dance Dance, and everyone was dressed in their disco finest, making for quite the spectacle in the crowd. My favorite "celebrity" spotting? Jesse Jones, of local "Get Jesse" fame. Once the gala actually started and our job was done {and we had taken a few pics on the step and repeat}, we headed out for our obligatory celebratory drink for doing a good deed and helping in a little way to raise a lot of money. This event is always so much fun, and I already have the date on my calendar for next year!
