Over the course of two evenings, the Hylton Center hosted its 12th Anniversary Gala on April 29 and 30 with a celebratory dinner emceed by Executive Director of the Hylton Center Rick Davis, honoring two trailblazers in the community: Denise McPhail and Lovey Hammel. Capping off the first evening was a live auction and rousing “Raise Your Paddle” fundraiser resulting in a record-breaking $52,800 to support the Hylton Center’s Veterans and the Arts Initiative. The second evening of festivities witnessed the remarkable Tony Award-winning Broadway superstar Leslie Odom, Jr. in a concert of musical standards, new songs, and favorites from the smash hit Hamilton.

In total, the 12th Anniversary Gala raised over $225,000, thanks to the generosity of a community committed to the Hylton Center’s continued artistic excellence. Thank you to all of this year’s Hylton Center sponsors, including Presenting Sponsor Compton & Duling!
