📣 We’re excited to announce that ✨ Havana Nights ✨ has officially been chosen as the theme for this year’s MATES Benefit Dinner & Auction on April 24, 2026!

Think warm tropical evenings, 🌙 vibrant colors, lively music, 🎶 and a festive atmosphere inspired by Old Havana. Guests can have fun with the theme by wearing tropical-inspired cocktail attire — breezy dresses, linen shirts, florals, bright colors, and a touch of island flair. 🌴 It’s going to be a beautiful, energetic night filled with great food, live music, dancing, 💃🕺🏽 and of course an exciting auction!

• Services (wellness, tutoring, home services, etc.)
• Sports or entertainment tickets
• Autographed memorabilia
• Vacation stays or experiences
• Curated packages or unique items

If you own a business, have a connection to a business, or simply have something fun to contribute, every donation helps!
