Villa Esperanza Services will be hosting our Annual Fundraising Gala, known as Blue & White, this year at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, CA on April 30, 2022.  Our goal is to gross $200,000 with about $130,000 going directly back to our programs for children, adults, and seniors with intellectual/developmental disabilities. We change lives – from teaching a child with autism how to say "hello;" to giving an adult with Down syndrome the skills to earn a paycheck and the pride of having a job; to providing an intellectually disabled senior the opportunity to give back to the community through volunteering and helping others.  Villa’s staff work together every day to support our clients and their families and have inspired this year’s theme, “It Takes a Villa” , with Tuscany, Italy as the design inspiration for the evening.
