Villa will be hosting our Annual Fundraising Gala, known as Blue & White, this year at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, CA on May 19, 2018.  Our event goal is to gross $200,000 with about $125,000 going directly back to our programs for children, adults, and seniors with intellectual/developmental disabilities.  This year’s theme is “The Spirit of Ohana”.  “Ohana” is the Hawaiian word for family and is often used to describe friends and community as well.  Villa prides itself on providing a wide-reaching community of love, care and hope, in addition to services and support for the entire family.

As part of the evening’s festivities, we are pleased to honor Whittier Trust for their many years of supporting Villa through generous philanthropy, leadership expertise, and volunteer service.  Their dedication to local communities has allowed Villa and many other nonprofits to help thousands of people in need.  Whittier Trust shares Villa’s values of family and community, and we are grateful for their support.

We hope you will support this major fundraiser by donating a gift to our auction. Event proceeds support the wide variety of services Villa provides to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities.  On behalf of Villa Esperanza Services, thank you for your consideration and support.  Your donation will be acknowledged in our program and on our bid sheets, and brochures can also be put out on the silent auction table if provided.  We’re also happy to provide social media acknowledgement on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 

Sincerely,

Jenny Seto
