You are invited to celebrate the good life with your SCDS family Saturday, May 6 at Sonoma Jet Center’s glamorous new hangar! Experience a feast for the senses as we transform this pristine hangar into a stunning and vibrant backdrop for what promises to be a spectacular night. Our largest fundraising event of the year, La Dolce Vita (LDV) gives guests the opportunity to mingle with friends, enjoy delectable dishes, and support our SCDS community.
Early bird ticket raffle
We will enter every early bird ticket sold into a raffle to borrow any of E.R. Sawyer’s gorgeous jewelry for the night of the event! Make sure to buy your tickets before Friday, April 14 to lock in the $200 ticket price AND win a chance to dazzle with diamonds, seduce with sapphires, or enchant with emeralds!
Although we will christen a new venue this year, all your favorites from past LDVs will welcome you: enticing live auction, led by our longtime professional auctioneer Greg Quiroga, the Philip C. Nix Faculty Fund paddle raise, and of course, the big board auction! After delighting in a fantastic dinner from Elaine Bell Catering, don’t forget to put on your dancing shoes and join your fellow SCDS parents and friends out on the dance floor!
Jewelry Raffle
For nearly 20 years we have enjoyed the great fortune of having the generous support of E.R. Sawyer Jewelers! We will raffle off a gorgeous handmade 18k yellow gold and assorted gemstone necklace and earrings set by Italian luxury jewelry designer Marco Bicego (retail value $8265). Raffle tickets are $50 each, or three for $100.
