Carnegie Hall is pleased to announce that Sissy Isaac and the Tom Isaac Family

were honored at the All That Glitters Fantasy Gala, as the popular annual fundraiser returned. The event took place on Friday, August 30, at 6:30 p.m. on the Colonial Terrace at The Greenbrier. 

Tom and Sissy Isaac embraced their retirement in Lewisburg with fervor, quickly immersing themselves in the local community. Tom found his niche as an active Rotarian, while both he and Sissy poured their passion for history into volunteering at North House and the Greenbrier Historical Society, dedicating countless hours to preserving the area’s rich heritage. Their commitment extended to Carnegie Hall, where Tom’s involvement on the governing and foundation boards, coupled with his active participation in the Guild, left an indelible mark. Together with their friends Sarah and Jim Umberger, the Isaacs extended hospitality by providing home-cooked meals to the countless artists and entertainers who graced Carnegie’s stage. Though Tom has passed on, the Isaac family continues to honor his legacy of community service, making significant contributions to the fabric of Lewisburg. It is this enduring dedication that Carnegie Hall proudly celebrates by honoring them at its annual Gala.

Fantasy Gala guests enjoyed a seasonal buffet dinner with carving stations, a cash bar, live entertainment, and both a live and silent auction. The Greenbrier offered complimentary casino access for the night of the event for Fantasy guests.   

The Fantasy Gala’s Title Sponsor was Meraki Fund. Other sponsors included: Gold Sponsors – Vandalia Wealth Management, The Greenbrier, and Gillespie’s Flower’s & Productions; Silver Sponsors – Yarid’s and Bank of Monroe; Bronze Sponsors – Don and Sue Gordon, Kilcollin Dental, Mark and Debbie Kilcollin, and The Schoolhouse Hotel.
