The 3rd Annual Tammy Levent Birthday Bash

Just when you think this annual event cannot get any better, Tammy Levent, Executive Director of Elite Travel, proves us wrong!  With over 200 VIP’s gathered at the Fisker Jaguar Spyker of Tampa (Elder Automotive Group), I felt as though we were in Las Vegas with gaming tables, catered cuisine, beautiful people everywhere and live entertainment.  Guests didn’t even mind the rain when they were greeted by fitness models in Chippendale attire escorting them inside with umbrellas. While sipping on “Tammytinis” and mingling with celebrity guests, the beautiful  acrobat came shimmying down from the ceiling a-la-Cirque du Soleil and serving champagne!

Wonderful hors d’oeuvres were served, with each one better than the last, followed by a whimsical  creation of a magical cake in the shape of a slot machine!  Sports talk host and emcee auctioned over  $25,000.00 in all-inclusive vacation packages and much more – not to mention the beautiful model  covered in only balloons, with each balloon holding more amazing gift items. 

The excitement con-tinued with a Vegas showgirl,  fashion designs from some of the most talented designers in the area, stunning jewelry and handbags.  The open bar served nothing but the best, along with an ice sculpture that poured shots to the guests who were the brave and strong of the crowd!  If you needed a moment to chill, an outdoor cigar lounge  provided custom cigars rolled on the spot for your smoking pleasure.  The paparazzi filled the room to capture all the glamour of the night and guests lined up to have photos taken with celebrities and beautiful models gracing the floor. The ambiance of the event left nothing to be desired. 

Tammy hosts this remarkable event annually for a charity that is very dear to her heart – The Joshua  House. She also provided opportunities for her guests to get involved and to learn more and includes  other local businesses who share her passion for giving back.  Joshua House is a safe haven for abused,  abandoned, and neglected children offering a therapeutic residential group care program that provides a  protected, nurturing, family-like environment for children ages six to seventeen. These children have been  removed from their homes due to crisis and many have been through multiple foster homes. Hundreds of  children have passed through Joshua House since it opened in 1992 and Tammy keeps the community  focused on how we can help.
