L.A. Family Housing Harvest Festival and Halloween party

Sunday October 30th...What's sweeter than candy, taking time to give back and thanks to volunteers from Partner's Trust and Hot 92.3 160 kids and their families got some extra special attention yesterday. Shann Silver, of Partner's Trust asked me to join at the kids arts and crafts table but instead we found ourselves volunteering at the most popular activity area, the pony rides. As a former equestrian I was more than thrilled and happy to give the ponies some attention too. It may not seem like much but four hours of pony rides, cookie decorating, temporary tattoos and music brought a lot big smiles to160 kids. That's priceless. 




L.A. Family Housing’s mission is to help families transition out of homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing enriched with supportive services. LAFH has 65 families at our Sydney M. Irmas Transitional Living Center, so that means we had about 160 kids at yesterday’s Harvest Festival. The kids had a blast riding the ponies, playing games, and painting their pumpkins. The families also enjoyed a BBQ lunch, popcorn, cotton candy and music from HOT 92.3 radio. Thanks again to Partners Trust volunteers for helping to make this event a wonderful treat for kids and families at L.A. Family Housing.

Saturday Oct. 22th Gabe Serrato raises money to benefit The Trevor Project

Last Saturday I ventured from the Westside for a very worthy cause and to support a good friend and fellow colleague. Gabe Serrato hosted an event at his stunning home in Laguna Beach to continue to raise awareness and funds for The Trevor Project. In addition to the beautiful location, the event drew a huge crowd, had delicious bites and tasty sangria made with VeeV Acai Spirit. VeeV is carbon neutral – the first acai berry spirit. I'm always excited to find another great eco product.


Gabe and his team did an amazing job!

The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.
