Bullfrog Bash is one of the Twin Cities’ top fall galas, and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. Guests made their way to The Depot Minneapolis for a dazzling night of dining and dancing. The glitzy theme was in full force, from sparkly tablecloths to ladies’ sequined dresses.

I heard about Hope Rocks from several of my co-workers, and I was anxious to attend this year. In the midst of so many traditional galas, this event stands out for its top-notch entertainment and rocker-chic vibe.
This past Saturday night, I found myself standing below disco balls at The Depot. A perfectly balanced glam fest and benefit—this year’s Crash the Ball was a mix of Gatsbian elegance and purposeful conversation. Sponsored by Target, Haskells, and E & J Winery, the event aimed to raise $10,000 for the funding of bus transportation for 3,000 students to attend a Young People's Concert at Orchestra Hall. In total, the event raised nearly $65,000 for the music and education programs of the Orchestra.
