KidsTLC – Benefit21 “ELECTRIC”
J. Rieger & Co. was the site for KidsTLC’s Benefit21, “ELECTRIC.” The festive evening featured custom cocktails, delicious fare, and a live auction. DJ Ashton Martin amped up the music at the After Party, where guests danced the night away. Abby and Kevin Ellis were the chairmen, and members of the Bleakley family served as the honorary co-chairmen. Proceeds support KidsTLC to help children and families facing challenges of mental and behavioral health, developmental trauma, and autism.
