Lively expressions of disguises of all sorts, ornate masks, facial paintings and colorful costumes for a night of glitz and socializing, It was the groups third year for the very successful ‘Balck & White’ event.

    This year the Tampa Bay LGBT philanthropy groups benefit of choice went to EPIC, Empath Partners in Care with locations in Clearwater, St. Pete and Tampa. It is the new face and entity for former Suncoast  Project, ASAP and Tampa’s Francis House.

    The nights special spinning master was international famed VJ/DJ Toy Armanda. And the high energized music and dancing just didn’t stop.
