Notable Moments: Vibrant fall gowns of all colors popped throughout the Hyatt Gainey entrance as guests entered into registration, photo stations and a sunset garden reception. Once again, the support stories shared during the dinner program brought the crowd into focus before the incredible live auction took off. The fierce battle of the night? Bernedoodle puppies donated by Puget Sound Doodles, which raised more than $10,000 for the organization. Cheers to all who came out to support these sweet children fighting cancer.
