For the 11th year in a row, Avalon, The Bert Show and Bert’s Big Adventure joined forces to create one of the most magical evenings of the season. Noon to Night was an unforgettable celebration filled with community, compassion, and style.
And thanks to the generosity of so many kindhearted supporters, we raised a record-breaking $155,400 for Bert’s Big Adventure!
Guests were treated to an extraordinary night that began with delectable tastings and cocktails from Avalon’s renowned restaurants, followed by a phenomenal fashion show featuring clothing from the best-in-class retailers that call Avalon home. This night was pure magic.
Heartwarming Highlights from the Runway
While every moment of the night sparkled, a few stood out as truly unforgettable:
Connor Tomlinson from Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum walking hand-in-hand with our very own Finnley brought smiles to every face.
Bert Weiss helped KJ, our sweet soon-to-be seven-year-old birthday boy, make his grand entrance down the blue carpet. The crowd erupted as KJ threw his hands in the air with electric joy.
Kristin Klingshirn and Liam spread love (and plenty of high fives!) as they made their way down the runway.
Our very own Cinderella, Jessica Black, gave Eliora a confidence boost, walking alongside her back up the blue carpet.
Abby Murphy and Maggie wowed the crowd with their perfectly choreographed dance moves at the end of the runway.
Moments like these remind us why Noon to Night is so much more than an event – it’s a celebration of courage, joy, and love.
