Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to relax, reconnect with friends, strike up new conversations, capture memorable photos, and experience engaging activities at their own pace. “SUMMERFEST is one of those rare events that truly has something for everyone,” said Yolanda Thomas, SUMMERFEST fan and longtime supporter. “I brought my husband, my adult children, and my grandchildren, and we all found something to enjoy. It’s a fun evening for the whole family, and knowing it supports St. Paul’s seniors makes it even more meaningful.” Individual tickets are $300, with sponsorship opportunities beginning at just $1,250 for those wishing to make an even greater impact.
