Join Gala Co-chairs, Pamela Joyce Wright and Susan Eddy Soza, for the 48th Annual Patron’s Gala, Rio Carnival, on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at the fantastic Brazilian restaurant Fogo de Chao in Tysons Corner, Virginia, in support of the Tysons McLean Orchestra. Fogo de Chao is backdrop to Brazil for the evening, specializing in churrascaria, or fire-cooked meats, and includes side dishes traditionally from the Pampa region of Brazil. The event’s theme, Rio Carnival, is true to the nature of the real Carnival as it heralds in a time for joy, peace, camaraderie, and friendly competition. Attendees will find joy in the food, peace in their drinks, camaraderie among other music lovers and of course friendly competition when it comes to bidding on silent and live auction items.
Last year’s event at the French Embassy was a sell out with few individual tickets available after the overwhelming response from our Sponsors. If you would like to sign up early to become a Sponsor to maximize your visibility, there are several levels to appeal to every individual and corporate budget.
