KidsTLC – Benefit23

KidsTLC hosted Benefit23, a dreamy evening filled with pajamas and a fun celebration (sounds wonderful!) led by Chairmen Sarah and Ryan Owings. With delightful cocktails from J. Rieger & Co., and a fun after-party with a DJ, guests were able to support KidsTLC’s mission to transform the lives of children and families experiencing mental and behavioral health challenges, developmental trauma, and autism.
