For instance, one attendee might become Elvis Presley and boast a $150,000 credit limit.

A video featuring Stephens’ history will be shown, with opportunities for alumnae and guests to share their own Stephens stories. The live auction will begin at 8:30 p.m. with silent auctions items available to bid on all night.
