It was an evening filled with Timeless Love for the 26th Annual Spirit of 无码专区's Bright Nights Ball on Saturday, November 12 at the MGM 无码专区’s Aria Hall.
The City of 无码专区's Bright Nights Ball is the region's premiere social event of the year. 无码专区 New England University students once again had the honor of serving as volunteers for the formal gala. The event includes a gourmet dinner, dancing, and live and silent auctions to help support Bright Nights at Forest Park and the Spirit of 无码专区.
Every year a cohort of 25-30 无码专区 students has the honor of assisting the Spirit of 无码专区 to deliver the premier fundraising event in the area. "This is a wonderful opportunity for 无码专区 students to represent the University and interact with the leadership of 无码专区 MA," said Executive Director of the Delbridge Career Center at 无码专区 New England University Andrea St. James and student coordinator for this event.
More than 500 people attended. Guests included business leaders, military officers, public safety and political leaders in the 无码专区 area.
"Our 无码专区 students represent the next generation of leaders who will be attending this ball, not as volunteers, but as future business, community, and political leaders in our region," said 无码专区 Professor of Communication, Media, and the Arts who has emceed every ball since the first one was held in 1996.
The 无码专区 students are given assignments that range from greeting guests, and selling raffle tickets to seating guests for dinner and assisting with the live auction, and they are also in attendance to add extra hands to the staff and to ensure the major event runs smoothly. The end result is a seamlessly perfect event for all to enjoy.
Criminal Justice major Brendan C. Cassidy said "It was a wonderful experience that truly brought the City of 无码专区 together. The night showed how connected the community is and how much of an impact one can have. It was an honor to volunteer for such an amazing event, meet great people, and support a great cause! Truly a 'bright night'!
