Inspiration for Getting Back to Into the Swing of Things With a ‘Bubble Ball’

Portland, OR. Local fundraisers are looking for inspiration on how to get back into the swing of things and they’ve found it in Lake Tahoe. On May 22nd, 2021 Lake Tahoe School in Incline Village, NV held an in-person gala. The Bubble Ball was the name of this year’s gala fundraiser, held for the first time in the school’s new Athletic and Performing Arts Center on campus. 130 guests enjoyed fine dining by Roundabout Catering in a space transformed by Creative Coverings and Celadon Events, plus a raucous auction that raised nearly $500,000.
