The evening featured the Philadelphia premiere of Disney performance artist Trevor Carlton. During cocktails and a silent auction, Carlton enraptured guests with his show, combining music and paint to transform a 5’ x 5’ canvas into a magical painting of Mickey Fantasia, which was later auctioned off to the highest bidder.

At the conclusion of the silent auction, guests
followed the Avalon String Band as they “strutted” in full Mummer regalia into the formal dining room for a dessert buffet, presentation, and live auction.

Master of Ceremonies Steve Highsmith welcomed guests and led the evening program, which honored Representative Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania for his commitment to social change. A heart-warming presentation about United Cerebral Palsy
reminded guests of the work made possible by their participation in the event.

Lane Foundation. Other special support came from the Carol Schwartz Gallery, Judith Ripka Jewelery, and Barbour, making the Fantasy Auction a memorable and magical event!
