Guild Day at the Races 2023
We are so grateful to all of Villa's friends, family, and supporters who joined us at the 25th Annual Day at the Races! Though the weather was stormy and racing was canceled, we were warm and cozy inside the beautiful Chandelier Room. Guests enjoyed bidding on the silent auction, chatting over lunch, and winning raffle prizes. It was a fantastic event which raised over $82,000 for Villa! We appreciate everyone's generosity, and thank you for helping make this our most successful Day at the Races ever!
