After another great event season at WaterFire Providence, it was, as always, a pleasure for us to work with everyone at Ruth’s Chris Steak House to host our 6th annual WaterFire Ruth’s Chris Fundraiser. It was wonderful to have an amazing group of people from our Board of Directors, sponsors, and donors, volunteers, and staff, vendors, and partners, all gathering to help make our capital city and state a great place to live, work and visit. In a season that saw everything from a social-media re-enactment of the Gaspee Incident, to lighting WaterFire in Kennedy Plaza and the first lighting of WaterFire in Europe, it was our distinct honor to thank Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for his leadership and his continued support of the arts in our community and across the states.
WaterFire Providence would like to thank all of our guests, sponsors, and auction item donors for making this year’s Ruth’s Chris Fundraiser a great success. Together with your support, we raised thousands of dollars to help keep the fires burning into 2013.
Thank you to all of our Auction Item Donors.

I've worked at WaterFire Providence since 2003. For the first 9 years of my career, I worked in the Production Shop learning all of the details that go into the physical production of the event. In 2012 transitioned to the role of managing WaterFire's social media and web presence. I now head up WaterFire Providence's digital projects including, web, social, databases, and our physical IT infrastructure.
