There will be a post-concert party, headlined by Kool & The Gang, at San Francisco’s War Memorial Performing Arts Center, featuring 10 bands on five stages, live music, dancing, food, and drinks.

The 2010 Black & White Ball Chair Patricia Sprincin says, “I know the experience will be unforgettable, beginning with a truly special concert by Tony Bennett and k.d. lang, who will kick off the ball with such elegance and excitement.”
