"I once said that effort is between you, and you, and nobody else. The  
same can be true between an individual and their camera. What you’re  
shooting is between you and you and nobody else. Outcomes are for the  
audience.  The action is yours alone." ~ Ray Lewis

The Gala event will include music, a live auction of ‘LUX’-ury items,  
silent auction of featured artists, strolling magician & mentalist- 
Dick Steiner, a culinary competition coordinated by Chef Jerry Edwards  
of Chefs Expressions and signature cocktails provided by Kettle Hill

guest receiving a ‘LUX’-ury swag bag to complete the evening’s  
festivities. Original, limited edition Ray Lewis prints will be also
