LEXINGTON — More than 500 guests gathered in person, and many more joined online, for the Lexington Community Foundation’s Key’25 Preview Night and Dinner & Auction, which brought together disco vibes and incredible generosity for a “Saturday Night Fever”-themed evening.

This year’s event raised an outstanding $342,000, pushing the total raised over the past 24 years to more than $4.2 million.

The evening buzzed with energy as attendees enjoyed a festive dinner followed by the thrill of a live auction packed with exclusive items and unforgettable experiences. One of the most talked about highlights of the night was a super secret trip to the Las Vegas Sphere, which generated significant excitement and competitive bidding among guests.

“The energy in the room during the event was incredible,” said Barry McFarland, Chairman of LCF Public Relations. “From the surprise experiences, like the Sphere trip, to the generosity of our supporters, this was a night to remember.”

Bidders—both in the room and online—competed for luxury getaways, one-of-a-kind experiences, and curated packages, all in support of the Lexington Community Foundation’s mission to inspire generosity and strengthen the community, creating a community where all
individuals thrive.

Thanks to the community’s continued support, LCF celebrates not just one successful night, but a tradition of impact built over nearly a quarter-century.

A special thank you to the guests, the Board of Directors and their spouses, the local media, and the countless volunteers and businesses that make this event a success each year
