Summer theme

Fiber-optic panels hung from the roof of the City of Hope gala tent to create the look of a starlit sky.

A half moon-shaped stage backdrop featured what appeared to be a lunar-like surface.

Whiskey was served from a moonshine-like presentation from sponsor Stillhouse.

The tribute journal was blown up and presented in the style of sheet music.

A guitar-shaped fountain was a nod to the invitation and the decor; it will move to the City of Hope Duarte campus.

Linens were in keeping with the celestial feel.

Clean black-and-white seating didn't distract from the overall look and feel.
