ORLANDO Guests in brightly colored, tacky pants milled around Rosen Shingle Creek’s Sand Lake Ballroom Saturday, Nov. 5, during the Bad Pants Bash Gala. Presented by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty, the gala benefits the Sunshine Kids Foundation — a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children with cancer. Attendees were encouraged to come dressed in their loudest, wildest pants and skirts as they enjoyed a cocktail hour, martini bar and wine tasting, dinner, music, dancing and a silent auction.
Additionally, G.W. Bailey was the special guest at the event. Bailey is best known for his roles in the “Police Academy” films and his current role in TNT’s “Major Crimes.”
