Thanks for Helping Us SHINE!
On Saturday April 8, Celebrity Series held its SHINE! on the Harbor Gala, a glittering evening produced by Rafanelli Events at the Loft at the Innovation and Design Building. Guests enjoyed riveting performances from guitarist Kaki King and song and dance group Body Music, and explored Bridgman Packer’s interactive Video Playground.

The SHINE! Paddle Bid creatively featured glowing orbs and orb rings. Thanks to the generous support of sponsors and Paddle Bid participants, Celebrity Series raised about $550,000 for its performance and community programs.

Please enjoy a recap video and photo highlights from the evening, and we hope you'll consider joining us for next year's event on April 28, 2018!
