Orlando, Florida --- On Saturday, September 13, 2008, Orlando hosted its first Lunch Around the World event, "One Night Only," at the worlds largest Hard Rock® Café, located in the CityWalk® entertainment complex at the Universal Orlando Resort. More than 20 friends came together to enjoy a cocktail reception, dinner and silent auction to benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Co-hosts Mary Mitchell and Jody Towles were proud to announce that the event raised over $1700.00 for the Foundation. The silent auction featured exclusive Elton John collectibles and memorabilia, including a signed Orlando LATW poster, Old76 artwork, a Ben & Jerry’s "Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road" poster and drumsticks signed by Nigel Olssen. Other donors included the Hard Rock Café, Orlando Science Center and the Blue Man Group. Special thanks go to EltonJohn.com and the Elton John AIDS Foundation for their advocacy and commitment. Thanks also to everyone who attended and supported this event! Orlando looks forward to growing this event in 2009!
