White Christmas Gala
More than 230 guests attended Ryan House’s elegant White Christmas Gala in the Gold Room at the Arizona Biltmore on Dec. 2. They enjoyed an intimate evening celebrating The Board of Visitors Ryan House and “White Christmas,” written by Irving Berlin poolside at the Arizona Biltmore.
The elegant evening kicked off the holiday season with cocktails on the Gold Room patio, and after dinner featured dancing to the music of The Hamptons band and a magical snowfall on the patio. Jennifer Grant, who co-chaired the event with Karrie Pierson, supplied all of the decor and centerpieces through her company, Petals.
The event is an annual thank-you to those who support Ryan House’s mission. It raised more than $220,000 to care for Arizona’s children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
