The evening
Guests gathered with community leaders and supporters for a live viewing of the Derby, Derby-inspired fashion and hats, food and an open bar, and live and silent auctions.
Every ticket and every bid helped make sure that families who are grieving can keep finding connection and support at Ele’s Place, without financial barriers.
