2016 Rat Pack Reunion Raises $140K

Nearly 400 individuals attended the sixth annual Rat Pack Reunion on October 21, 2016 at Skopelos as New World in support of Council on Aging of West Florida and its programs. At the event, four local business leaders including DeeDee Davis, Joe Durant, Sheriff David Morgan, and Ray Russenberger, were honored for their leadership and service to the community.

"The gala was a fabulous success," said Angela Moore, co-chair of the Rat Pack Reunion Committee. "From the gorgeous decor, delicious dinner by Chef Gus Silivos, master of ceremonies Brent Lane, videos by WEAR ABC 3, roasting of our rats and dancing to the tunes of Ol' Blue Eyes...we could not have asked for a more exciting way to celebrate these generous community leaders while raising support for local seniors." 

This year's Rat Pack Reunion tradition included the third annual Rat Race 5K in Downtown Pensacola. The gala and 5K raised $140,000 for Council on Aging.
