THE PARTY Laughter, style and substance filled the event. Guests partook in a “white elephant” purse exchange, raising over $3,000 in benefit of the Pearce Family Foundation and the DreamCatchers Foundation. THE GUESTS Over 30 stylish guests gathered, including local celebrities and bloggers such as Katrina Fox of The Foxy Kat, Mandy Holmes of The Real Housewife of Scottsdale, Andrea Evans, Margaret Anderson and Lynette Gados. Katie Kelly says the event proved “yet again that there are many of us out there who have big hearts and are willing to give to those who need it most.” THE HIGHLIGHTS Après cocktails, appetizers and the purse exchange, guests toted a complimentary Saks Fifth Avenue swag bag in their new totes. The goodies included a $100 gift certificate to Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery, a $50 gift card to Saks, face cream by Dermalogica, a $10 gift card to Belle Lacet and perfume samples. -Taylor Transtrum
