Pam Shriver's Tennis Classic Auction

The Tremont Grand ballroom was bursting with people and bustling with energy as several hundred guests wined, dined and perused all sorts of silent auction items at Pam Shriver's 23rd annual Charity Tennis Classic Grand Kickoff Reception. Not bad for an event that's been around a lot longer than those it helps support through Greater Baltimore Tennis Patrons and other youth organizations.

Port Discovery

Who has more fun than a bunch of kids let loose in Port Discovery? A bunch of grown-ups let loose in Port Discovery and told to "play like you're 10 again." That was the idea behind the children's museum's 10th Birthday Bash.

The Larry and Lori Lickstein Foundation

Hundreds of well-heeled Baltimoreans turned out for the "Steps to the Cure Inaugural Ball," where mannequin legs sprouted on the bar and on tables throughout the room, each outrageously decorated and up for auction. A trellis trimmed with shoes graced one wall; guests could pick a pair to take home. The evening's highlight was a fashion show moderated by a celebrity guest - Project Runway winner ChristianSiriano.

Living classrooms foundation

What's the recipe for a great party? Combine food and drinks from some 50 area restaurants with nonstop music from several blues bands. Blend well at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park.

GBMC Nursing

There are those who party hearty. Then, there are those who party hardy. A few thousand of the latter showed up at Shawan Downs for the Eighth Annual Legacy Chase. Never mind that they had to brave bombarding sheets of rain the entire afternoon. Or that the series of steeplechases was canceled halfway through the afternoon because of that rain. The party continued under various tents set up on a hill overlooking the steeplechase course, even as the ground in those tents went from mushy grass to wading pool.
