The Starlight Gala Event was held this past Saturday at the Alltel Center. Kelsey joined many supporters for a fun night of food, silent & live auction, entertainment & dancing with popular band, Powerhouse, and great camaraderie in support of One Bright Star and the Yellow Ribbon program. Kelsey got great reviews.
