Aurora Borealis 2017
Thank you for supporting Aurora Borealis 2017!
On Saturday, March 18, Aurora friends gathered at the beautiful Oakland Rotunda to celebrate Aurora Borealis 2017 and to honor Artistic Director Tom Ross.
At this special 25th Anniversary Gala, guests enjoyed a wonderful evening of Silent and Live Auctions, a delicious dinner prepared by Fraiche Catering, sumptuous wines, surprise entertainment by the one-and-only Coverlettes, and, of course, a tremendous amount of support for Aurora.
We are grateful to Chairs Deborah Goodman and Ellen Levine, the Gala Committee, Corporate Sponsor Weatherford BMW of Berkeley, exclusive Wine Sponsors Hafner Vineyard and Narsai & Venus David, and the many Table Hosts, Host Committee Members, all of our donors, and the volunteers who contributed to the evening's success. Thank you for sharing this special night with us. We look forward to sharing with you the plays to come thanks to the money raised at Aurora Borealis!
