The Guilds of Segerstrom Center for the Arts recently hosted their annual fundraising event, ‘All That Jazz Casino Night’, which proved to be a huge success, raising an impressive $320,000 in support of education and community initiatives. The event took place at the beautiful Segerstrom Center in Costa Mesa, California, and was attended by over 400 guests, including local philanthropists, business leaders, and supporters of the arts.
The night was filled with excitement and glamour, as guests dressed in their best 1920s attire and enjoyed an evening of casino games, live music, and delicious food and cocktails. The event’s theme, inspired by the iconic jazz era, set the tone for a night of high energy and entertainment.
One of the highlights of the evening was a live auction, featuring a variety of exclusive items and experiences, such as luxury vacations, VIP concert tickets, and unique art pieces.

Throughout the night, guests had the chance to learn more about the important work that the Guilds of Segerstrom Center do in the community, including providing arts education programs for local schools and supporting emerging artists through grants and scholarships. The funds raised from ‘All That Jazz Casino Night’ will go directly towards these initiatives, helping to ensure that the arts continue to thrive in Orange County.
