The evening kicked off with a cocktail party in the Patrick Lawton Lobby featuring tasty bites prepared by Moondance Grill, Villa Castrioti, and Sufi’s Mediterranean Grill & Bar and a signature craft cocktail created by GPAC’s own Master Mixologist, Brad Pitts. Partygoers took to the stage in the Highland Capital Performance Hall, where a delicious dinner was served by one of Memphis favorite restaurateurs, Chef Erling Jensen. The celebrations continued with an exhilarating live auction and a performance from Memphis Soul Remedy, who had guests dancing the night away!
