Life Commitment: An Intimate Dinner for the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation

On September 23rd, philanthropists and civic leaders gathered at the home of Lorne and Melita Segal for what has been called “the season’s most impressive gala.” The vision for the dinner’s stunning decor was brought to life by MVKA Productions.

The Segal’s full-length pool was covered with a transparent floor that supported clear acrylic dining tables and chairs, giving the impression that guests were literally dining on top of the water, while enjoying a delicious five-course meal crafted by OPUS Catering.  

The weekend service announcement was made in this incredible setting where guests generously accepted the funding challenge, pledging their own commitments to the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation.
