Attire

Break out your hottest sneakers because this year's event is dressy — with a twist. The event is not black tie and we encourage attendees to consider dressy attire that is also paired with stylish and comfortable footwear…helping ensure everyone can participate in the dancing and celebration following dinner. This merging of traditional gala dress (formal attire such as suits and dresses) with the unique look of sneakers will add a lively and innovative energy to an extraordinary evening of celebration. (Note that any footwear may be worn; sneakers are encouraged but not required.)
