Ron Wendt Designs transformed the ballroom into an extravagant summer garden, covering the dancefloor with peonies and adding a blast of blossoms overhead. Co-chaired by Anjali Melwani, Marcie Pantzer, Betsy Pitts, Eleanor Ylvisaker, and Roopal Patel serving as the Honorary Saks Fifth Avenue Chair, the event raised over $1 million. More than 300 guests attended the summer garden-inspired event while enjoying cocktails, dinner and sounds provided by DJ Harley Viera Newton.
