Gambado

Sep 18, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

The Westender was proud to be a major partner at last Thursday's Shooting Stars Foundation "Gambado" celebrity dinner and auction which helped raise money for HIV/AIDS service organizations. A martini reception, silent auction, live entertainment, fabulous food and live auction, hosted by Tony Parsons, made this gala evening for a good cause a complete success.

Meanwhile, on Granville, the newly opened Wildfire grill and restaurant heated things up with their celebrity opening featuring food and libations for famous faces.
