The holidays are upon us, the New Year nearby, and 2019 not more than a glance at the calendar away. And there are parties aplenty to attend this season and into next year. We’ve got you covered with the “it list” of charity galas, celebrations, and all manner of philanthropic events you won’t want to miss. The following list features confirmed save the dates through April. As always, call ahead or visit websites to ensure plans haven’t changed closer to the day-of. You can also visit our online calendar for more event listings as they are confirmed. And in our May 2019 issue (yes, we’re thinking that far ahead), we’ll present May through December save the dates. Now go have a ball!
