THANK YOU!
The support we have received from our community, both locally in Los Angeles and nationwide, has been truly overwhelming. With your help, we sold out on our largest Gala yet, auctioned off incredible items and experiences, and met our fundraising goal. Although the event is over, our commitment to serving the youth of Los Angeles continues.
Please consider supporting the programs, facilities, and opportunities that empower young people to learn, explore, achieve, and dream by making a donation. Every gift, no matter the size, is crucial to ensuring each child or teen has a safe space to explore their full potential.
