One of the most meaningful moments of the night was the story shared about Kelli Bringle, this year’s featured artist. Kelli is a joy to be around, and her laughter is truly infectious. Showcasing her artwork and highlighting her story reminded guests why TECH exists and the impact creativity, connection and support can have in someone’s life. Her presence added something unforgettable to this year’s gala.

The celebration continued with lively bidding in both the silent and live auctions, specialty cocktails that quickly became guest favorites and a late night pizza bar that wrapped up the evening on a fun note. The entire night carried a balance of excitement, heart and generosity from start to finish.
