At UDREAM EVENTS, we believe great events are built on collaboration, creativity, and connection. And few evenings capture that spirit better than Rays on the Runway—the signature fundraising event for the Children’s Dream Fund, hosted in partnership with Power Design at their St. Petersburg campus.
We were honored to provide full-service beverage catering for this unforgettable evening, serving up curated cocktails, elevated guest experiences, and a whole lot of heart.
About the Event: Rays on the Runway
Rays on the Runway is more than a fashion show—it’s a moment where Tampa Bay Rays players and dream recipients take center stage, walking the runway together to raise funds for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Hosted by Power Design, this annual event transforms their St. Pete headquarters into a high-energy celebration of hope, courage, and community. Attendees, sponsors, and supporters gather not just for fashion and fun—but to help make dreams come true for children across Tampa Bay.
All proceeds benefit the Children’s Dream Fund, a local nonprofit dedicated to granting personalized dreams to children facing serious medical conditions. From shopping sprees and bedroom makeovers to meeting celebrities or taking dream vacations, each experience brings joy and light during a difficult time.

- Staffing articulate, trained bartenders and bar leads
- Setup, service, and clean-up
- Creating a guest experience that flowed as smoothly as the Tito’s cocktails

More Than a Bar—It’s a Moment
The beauty of events like Rays on the Runway is in the details. Our bar experience wasn’t just about drinks—it was about creating a vibe that matched the energy and emotion of the night.

It’s part of what sets UDREAM apart: we don’t just pour drinks—we build experiences. And when it’s in support of a cause this meaningful, it means even more.
