Young Advisory Board for The Children’s Place – Suspenders & Stilettos
Music from Lost Wax filled the Hobbs Building on December 3rd as guests filed through the doors in suspenders, sparkly dresses and high heels at Suspenders & Stilettos. After dining on hors d’oeuvres and sipping a white cranberry cosmo (or two), guests hit the dance floor. The event, hosted by The Young Advisory Board for The Children’s Place, kept everyone dancing and mingling well into the night. The festivities concluded with shuttle rides to the Plaza, where, for many of the guests, the party continued.
