Its for the kids

There is a non-profit in Santa Barbara called Storyteller Children's Center. It focuses on the homeless and underprivledged children in town, providing them education and nutrition. I have been looking to get involved in something local and this proved, by way of their amazing gala last weekend, to be just the right crowd and cause that I want to give my time to.



Their annual gala was themed ' Snow a go go'...think short silver dresses donned on every guest, blue martinis served from an ice bar, real snow piled up to welcome the guests, and go go dancers with fur lined hats. I rallied my friends to help for the night and we sold lots and lots of raffle tickets, in fact so many that we almost doubled what their fundraising goal was! Woo hooo...nothing better than 'doing it for the kids'!

I will try to find pictures of the 'snow patrol' security guys and the well dressed, young, philanthropic guests that attended...nothing short of the most amazing, fun event I have attended in all my years here. Cheers to the kids~
