This Year's Theme

Havana Nights

Step into Old Havana: colorful, alive, and full of soul. Behind every detail of the night is a single purpose: creating dream spaces that bring comfort, joy, and independence to children with special needs, at no cost to their families.

You'll meet the kids whose lives have been changed by a Sunshine on a Ranney Day room reveal: wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, dream bedrooms, in-home therapy spaces. And the ones waiting for their turn next. Their stories are why we gather. COT Latin Band brings the music; the families bring the meaning.

  • Stories from the kids & families your gift serves
  • A paddle raise to sponsor a child's room directly (100% goes to kids)
  • Live & silent auctions funding the next dream room
  • Live Latin band, dancers & a vibrant Havana setting
What to Wear

Channel the Spirit of Havana

Dress to impress. Tropical colors, silky fabrics, linen suits, panama hats. The more spirited the room, the better the night.

Confidence is your best accessory. ¡Nos vemos en La Habana!

Dress code lookbook: outfit examples, color palette, fabrics and accessories.
