Dear Valued Community Supporter,

California Youth Services is excited to introduce our 20th annual Gala, Beacon of Hope, scheduled for Sunday, May 18th, 2025, at the Marriott Irvine Spectrum! As we celebrate two decades of making a difference, we aim to raise an ambitious $350,000, relying on the generosity of our steadfast supporters, the enthusiasm of our guests, and invaluable contributions from dedicated individuals like you. These collective efforts are essential in setting the stage for a brighter future, and we hope to make this milestone event a resounding success.

Our mission to empower teenagers toward secure and promising futures continues to drive our work. Through education, assessment, crisis intervention, and counseling, we support adolescents facing the complexities of substance abuse, behavioral, and mental health challenges. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to ensuring that no family is turned away due to financial constraints.

An essential part of our Gala is the annual auction, which allows us to sustain and expand our programs. This year, we’re focusing on quality items in dining, travel, fashion, and entertainment for both live and silent auctions. By contributing to this event, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your company’s goods and services to an audience of over 300 Orange County leaders and families.

Your generous support will directly impact the teens and parents engaged in California Youth Services programs, helping fund crucial prevention and intervention initiatives. Our work relies on partnerships with corporate and community supporters like you, who make our mission possible.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to be part of our Beacon of Hope Gala. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
