The G’Day Down Under Brunch, a Desert Sage Auxiliary fundraiser, generated $11,000 to benefit programs for children and adults in the community.

The Australian Bee Gees brought a little “Saturday Night Fever” to the recent event at Assistance League of Las Vegas, where a sellout crowd danced to disco favorites and enjoyed brunch by Superior Events.

Guests also bid on silent auction items, including a Native American Zuni fetish necklace with hand-carved animals made from turquoise, mother of pearl, black onyx, abalone, coral and spiny shell.
