After dinner, guests boogied down to Tower of Power and watched the Lifehouse Performers. Rock legend Huey Lewis appeared as longtime Honorary Chair and Insalata’s Chef Heidi Insalata Krahling returned as the event’s expert culinary host. Betty Yu from KPIX was the event emcee. The $700,000 raised will go directly to provide quality programs and support for Lifehouse’s community of people with developmental disabilities in the Bay Area.
