Philanthropic Fun: Dancing Deeply

To commemorate the 203rd anniversary of Argentina’s independence, Casa Argentina hosted its annual “Tango Celebration,” which made donations to benefit the Hispanic Heritage Foundation’s Scholarship Fund, the Second Harvest Food Bank, Young Audiences and other local and international charities.

The Hyatt Regency Hotel hosted the program in the Celestin Ballroom, which offered a Patron Party preceding a three-course dinner. Wines were provided by Bizou Wines and Mi Terruno.

Resembling the Argentina flag, the dining tables were adorned with two bands of light blue tablecloths with white in the center and topped with sunflowers.

Julio y Cesar and band performed before, during and after dinner and the show.
