Our 16th annual Summer Benefit was a soaring success – raising over $375,000 in support of newportFILM’s year-round documentary programming and educational initiatives! Even as rain poured down outside, IYRS’s historic Restoration Hall was buzzing with energy as hundreds of guests braved the weather to join in our celebration.
The evening was presented by the flyGATEWAY Aviation Institute, with additional support from The Newport Experience and BankNewport. Our guests enjoyed wines selected by Gold’s Wine and Spirits, tequila from Pantalones and non-alcoholic beer from Crazy Mountain. Passed canapés by Pranzi Catering & Events complemented the festive atmosphere as guests mingled and celebrated newportFILM’s mission to build community and inspire change through the power of documentary film.
We’re so grateful to our supporters and everyone who made this evening possible!
