The 2025 Calder Deal Ball

The Details

We invite you to a special evening to exhale as the year comes to an end. The Calder Deal Ball is a celebration of our professional friendships and partnerships, where we take a moment to express our gratitude and reflect on the year’s accomplishments. In the spirit of giving, we will also take a moment to assist those who are less fortunate.
Throughout the evening, you will enjoy open bar “M&A” cocktails, a catered dinner from The Gilmore Collection, and live music by River City Jazz. We’ll also hear from the Executive Directors of three local non-profits—MomsBloom, Beyond26, and the YWCA. While part of the evening is dedicated to supporting these organizations, there is no expectation or pressure to donate.
