Transformer’s 6th Annual Silent Auction & Benefit Party held November 7 at The Mexican Cultural Institute was a tremendous success!
THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to making this year’s Transformer Auction our best yet! We continue to be so grateful to EVERYONE who made the event possible.
Many thanks to The Mexican Cultural Institute, and to our Diplomatic Chairs, The Ambassador of Mexico, His Excellency Arturo Sarukhan and Mrs. Veronica Valencia-Sarukhan, for so generously hosting the event this year.
