Salud! 2011
More than 250 supporters of Gabriel’s Angels attended the Oct. 14 cocktail event Salud! at the Arizona Biltmore.
Inspired by vineyard harvest celebrations in South America, Salud! featured the wines of Chilean vintner Montes, food from Todd Sicolo, executive chef at the Biltmore, and live entertainment. Gabriel’s Angels therapy dogs and their owners greeted guests. Lucky Leashes were available for $100 and offered attendees the opportunity to select a surprise box containing a variety of items including wine, sports tickets, cosmetics and memorabilia.
Encore Creative designed the tables, and Maestro Drew Diego Bennett and Ambiant Dance Studio provided the entertainment. Deborah Bateman, National Bank of Arizona, and Robert Burghart, Wells Fargo Advisors were the event co-chairs. Tochia and Stan Levine were the honorary chairs.
The evening raised more than $80,000 to support Gabriel’s Angels’ mission to break the cycle of violence in the greater Phoenix community.
