The Celebration: The Paint the Town Red Gala

The Cause: American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter

The Chairs: Roberta Economidis and Kelly Murphy

The Credentials: Approximately 450 San Francisco and Bay Area Red Cross enthusiasts, including members of the San Francisco International Consular Corps, descended upon the City Hall rotunda illuminated by red lights for a black tie gala with many of the female supporters donning red gowns for the occasion. Catering was provided by none other than Paula LeDuc while the stunning event decor was pulled off by the uber-talented Dominic Phillips Event Marketing and Production. The Paint the Town Red Gala is the American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter’s annual fundraising event which benefits local disaster relief and readiness for the Bay Area’s 4.5 million residents, in addition to raising awareness of the vital role the Red Cross plays within global communities.
