The Jewels Gala, held at The Caramel Room at Bissinger’s, is fundamental to supporting the operation of the region’s only professional ballet company. It also helps fund Pointe to Succeed, a dance program for underserved children in the community. A performance from Balanchine’s Jewels helped kick off the evening. Lordo’s Diamonds served as the jewelry sponsor.
