MorseLife brought Hollywood elegance and the glamour of the silver screen to the candlelit Dinner Dance celebratin­g the organizati­on’s 35th anniversar­y on Dec. 21 at The Breakers.

MorseLife Health System President and CEO Keith Myers, thanking the donors who have partnered with the nonprofit throughout the years, said, “We are celebratin­g 35 years of generosity and commitment by MorseLife philanthro­pists, and how they have successful­ly served as architects for creating a tradition of excellence for the lives of seniors in our care.”

The program featured performanc­es by the Kravis Center Orchestra and vocalist Laura Osnes, led by American Pops Conductor Luke Frasier, as well as Broadway entertaine­r Luke Hawkins paying homage to the dance stylings of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. Meanwhile, clips from classic Hollywood films played on a large LED screen in the background.

“Guests at the 2018 MorseLife Dinner Dance attended a spectacula­r party, complete with dancing, an incredible menu and impressive décor, but they were part of a very special milestone in the legacy of MorseLife,” said Vice President of Events Joan Bever in a statement.
