Guests experienced an evening under the desert sky, enjoyed a dinner and dancing in the barn and were able to learn about Benevilla’s impact on the community.

“Both longtime supporters and first-time guests expressed their appreciation for the organization’s commitment to enriching lives for older adults, adults with disabilities, children and the families who care for them,” Benevilla officials wrote in a news release.
