Bollywood films are known for pop music and exuberant dance scenes featuring scores of dancers dressed in dazzling Indian costumes. Cardinal Newman’s Bollywood gala will capture this lively atmosphere with exotic decor and Bollywood-style entertainment. Everyone is encouraged to dress their finest Indian attire for an unforgettable afternoon of gourmet Indian cuisine, and breathtaking entertainment. This family focused affair takes place in the ACC facility of Cardinal Newman High School with Sonoma County’s own premier chef’s from Pamposh Restaurant showing off their culinary talents.
Best of all, the event raises thousands of dollars to bring safe, clean drinking water to rural villages and communities in India. It’s this town’s event to see and the place to be seen!
Henna and threading techniques expertly applied by the artists of Bollywood Day Spa. Guests will place their bids on a wide array of silent auction items including luxurious getaways, outdoor adventures, Indian crafts and textiles. Incredible art from local artists and artists worldwide. Jewelry, and some of the finest wines in the Sonoma and Napa Valleys.
The afternoon features traditional Indian Sitar music with Peter Van Gelder, and Mark Gerhard on the Tabla.
Following lunch and the conclusion of the silent auction, the afternoon kicks into high energy as our Bollywood dancers take the floor, bringing the party up to the next level as they teach us all the famous moves of the Jai Ho dance! (As seen in Slumdog Millionaire.)
Children are encouraged to join in every aspect of the event or spend time in the Indian Village creating handcrafted India-inspired bracelets of their very own.
In keeping with our tradition of “Kids Helping Kids Across the Globe,” the majority of your needs will be met by philanthropic teens from throughout Sonoma County area high schools.
March 13, Noon–4 p.m. $20.
