Firefighters for Healing welcomed guests to the sold-out Red Tie Gala at the Marriott at City Center in Minneapolis.

The annual event — which included a cocktail hour, silent auction and three-course dinner — raises funds for Camp RED. Standing for Realize Every Dream, the program provides summer camp scholarships to kids ages 6 to 15 who have suffered burn trauma.

The nonprofit Firefighters for Healing, started by Jake LaFerriere after he was hurt battling a 2010 Minneapolis house fire, helps burn survivors.
