The GI Film Festival (GIFF) in partnership with Sip with Socialites, hosted an incredible night featuring Military bachelors from all branches of service plus some celebrities up for auction to raise funds for the GI Film Festival. There was also a silent auction with over 60 items, including a luxurious vacation stay at a home in Mexico.
The special guest celebrity bachelors were Parker Young from ABC’s SUBURGATORY and FOX’s new hit show, “Enlisted,” and Chef Spike from Bravo’s “Top Chef.” Bidders also got a chance to win a date in Los Angeles with actor Mark Valley from ABC’s “Body of Proof.” The Event Emcee was Britt McHenry, sports reporter for ABC7/WJLA-TV and News Channel 8.
Delicious appetizers were provided by Lebanese Taverna and by Chef Seb of Amoo's House of Kabob, cigars offered by La Palina, bubbly and wine by Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, Beer by MillerCoors, a fun photo booth, and Heaven & Elle Haute Beauty Bar provided vintage beauty looks on site.
The VIP guests got all the above goodies as well as these additional ones: a dessert bar, gelato bar provided by Dolci Gelati, upgraded spirits, wine and beer bar, reserved seating during the entertainment portion, access to VIP lounge, special gift bags and more.

I did a photo shoot of Geoff Stults and Parker Young from the FOX show Enlisted one week ago and it turns out that I was asked by the co-founder and director of the GI Film Festival to be one of the bachelors in this event. So I did it, and I took some pictures with my compact camera throughout the night. It was humbling to be one of the bachelors, but it was for a good cause and for fun too. Here are some of my photos from the night. HOOAH!
Happy to know about this film festival and hope it was a grand one. Few months ago, I arranged a food festival at one of the excellent Seattle venues. Many people from different parts participated in this event and made it a successful one.
