Dec 31 FISH GALA 2025 – UNMASKED

Benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County

Fund by Indian Subcontinent Heritage (FISH) hosted its annual gala with an “Unmasked” masquerade theme on Saturday, September 6, at Pardini’s, welcoming 350 guests for an evening of purpose and celebration. The event benefited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County’s fight against fentanyl in local communities, awarding a $120,000 grant to support the expansion of the BGC Phoenix Program—a research-based curriculum designed to counter the influence of drugs and gangs. The evening began with an exclusive, hour-long sponsor reception in the Red Room, where attendees connected, networked, and enjoyed an elegant ambiance. Guests were treated to a musical performance by professional violinist Priyanka Venkatesh, who delivered a captivating blend of Indian and American medleys accompanied by DJ Malhi. The program continued with a lively auction led by Mark Coulter, who brought dynamic energy and a touch of ranch-style flair to the gala. Dinner was served by Brahma Bull Catering, and the night concluded with dancing and intrigue as the masquerade unfolded well into the evening.
