Kelly and Joe Privitera received the Founder’s Award. Guests imbibed the signature cocktail, The Tempest, named for the upcoming summer production. Highlights of the evening included a three-course dinner with a decadent black-and-white dessert, a silent auction, dancing, and a visit from Good Will himself.
