It’s that time of year…and this is one you don’t want to miss! Our most important Fundraiser of the year returns—and every year, it brings together the people who make Santa Clara Special: Civic and Community Leaders, local businesses, sponsors, nonprofits and neighbors—all under one roof for a memorable evening. Come raise a glass, share a meal, and be part of our legacy event.
