Junior League of Las Vegas Hosts 23rd Annual Paint the Town Red Gala, Raising $300,000 for the Community

The Junior League of Las Vegas (JLLV) hosted its 23rd Annual Paint the Town Red Gala on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Four Seasons Las Vegas, bringing together approximately 300 guests for an unforgettable evening of impact, celebration, and community.

This year’s theme, “Painting a Brighter Tomorrow,” reflected the belief that each individual plays a role in shaping a stronger future — and that together, collective efforts can create meaningful, lasting change across Southern Nevada.

As JLLV’s largest annual fundraiser, the gala honored outstanding individuals whose contributions have strengthened the community and advanced the mission of developing women leaders.

2026 Honorees included:

• Florence Lee Jones Humanitarian Award: Diana Bennett
• Lifetime Community Achievement Award: Sherry Layne

Throughout the evening, guests experienced an elegant black-tie affair that blended purpose with celebration. The event opened with a lively cocktail hour featuring live piano by John Matteson, followed by jazz performances from the Extreme Measures Trio, setting the tone for the night.

The evening was not only a celebration, but a powerful demonstration of community impact — with $300,000 raised to support JLLV’s programs and initiatives that empower women and improve the lives of children and families across Southern Nevada.

All proceeds from Paint the Town Red directly benefit the Junior League of Las Vegas, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing women’s leadership for meaningful community change through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.
